Illustrated by
Michael Welply.
Osborne and Boyce retell fifty-six of the best known stories from the Old and New Testaments in a serviceable, approachable narrative style. The tales are stripped to their essentials, with much of the moral complexity eliminated for a young audience. Most of the pieces include at least one illustration that reflects a literal interpretation of the story.
