BRIAN WILDSMITH'S ILLUSTRATED BIBLE STORIES.

New York: Franklin Watts, 1968. 135 pp, 11" H. Profusely illustrated in colour throughout. "Philip Turner has presented the Bible story in chronological order, as a consecutive narrative, giving the reader a clear outline of the Bible as a whole. In bringing home to young readers the truths behind the historical, poetical and prophetic books that make up the Bible, he communicates the strength and beauty of man's faith in God. Brian Wildsmith's illuminating, striking and sensitive illustrations complement the dignity and simplicity of Philip Turner's text and help to make this book an admirable introduction to the Bible itself." now protected in removable mylar sleeve.
