'I had a dream last night... large enough to fill the rest of my life.' This retelling of John Bunyan's classic story is filled with drama, excitement and adventure. On his journey of a life-time to the City of Gold, Christian meets an extraordinary cast of characters, such as the terrible Giant Despair and the monster Apollyon. Together with Hopeful, his steadfast companion, he survives the snipers and mantraps, the Great Bog, Vanity Fair, Lucre Hill and Castle Doubting. But will he find the courage to cross the final river to the City of Gold and his salvation?

Winner of the Blue Peter Book Awards, this is a briliant re-telling of John Bunyans classic adventure story. Luxurious illustrations by Jason Cockcroft perfectly enhance McCaughrean's swashbuckling prose.
