The Land of Far Beyond: Enid Blyton's retelling of the Pilgrim's Progress
Enid Blyton, Sam Loman
A beautiful cloth-bound gift edition of Enid Blyton’s The Land of Far Beyond – a retelling of John Bunyan’s The Pilgrim’s Progress.
A classic adventure of good versus evil, this book will never be forgotten by the children who read it.
Peter, Anna and Patience live in the City of Turmoil, a noisy, dirty place where children can do whatever they like. It’s all fun and games until they discover the heavy burdens they carry in their hearts from behaving so badly. The only way they can get rid of their burdens is by travelling to the Land of Far Beyond, a distant land that is found by taking a long, difficult path full of people who tempt them to lose their way.
This beautiful cloth-bound hardback contains the original text first published in 1942.
Reviews
This is my favourite book. It is about five children who live in the City of Turmoil. They play tricks on the adults like ringing the doorbells and then running away or calling rude names to somebody before running away and then the others go and help themselves to the food in his cart. Then a stranger comes and he moves their burdens from their hearts onto their backs so that they have to carry them. Five adults come and get the same. The stranger tells them that the only way to get rid of them is to go to the city of happiness in the Land or Far Beyond. Only three children and no adults get there. On the way they meet the giant Cruelty, Mercy and Pity, Intolerance, Flatter and lots of other people who either help them or lean them off the path.
