CHILDREN'S BIBLE STORIES: From Genesis to Daniel

by Miriam--Adapt. Chaikin ‧ RELEASE DATE: Feb. 1, 1993

Twenty-six of the best known Old Testament stories--Adam and Eve, Noah, Samson and Delilah, David and Goliath, Jonah, Daniel in the lion's den, etc.--skillfully condensed and paraphrased, yet retaining their inherent drama: an impressive example of high-quality bookmaking that is far less wordy and more beautiful than most Bible story collections. Gilbert's 19 full-page, realistic colored pencil drawings are beautifully crafted: a magisterial Moses who parts the waters to expose coral, bones, an octopus, and the ribs of a wrecked ship; a Witch of Endor who echoes Beardsley. The format is enhanced with decorated capitals and page margins, rubrics, running titles, and a handsome typeface. The appealing jacket features the Peaceable Kingdom with a child astride a flower-bedecked lion; a portion of the proceeds will be donated to Save the Children.
