Illustrated by
Ashley Bryan.
While serving as a missionary in Liberia during the twenties, Lorenz Graham was intrigued by hearing Bible stories told in West African idiom, and he collected many of the stories, publishing them here in 1946. Ashley Bryan's magnificent black-and-white woodblock illustrations lend an added power and dignity to the text of this most unusual and captivating book.
