The Lion Bible to Keep for Ever

Description

An accomplished author and illustrator team come together to present a children's Bible, full of charm and grace. Trusted author Lois Rock uses all her understanding and skill as a leading Bible storyteller to retell 50 favourite stories from the Old and New Testaments, with simplicity and sincerity. Each story is prefaced with a one-line introduction explaining its place in the Bible, so children can gain a deeper understanding of the broader sweep and purpose of the Bible's stories as a whole. This beautifully presented keepsake Bible is graced with glowing pencil and watercolour illustrations, which add to its charm and appeal.

Lois Rock has established an international reputation as a children's writer. Specialising in Bible stories, prayer books, and information books, her books have been translated into over 30 languages with sales approaching 4 million copies. She draws on her experience as a mother of three, and as a leader of church children's groups. Sophie Allsopp has been a professional illustrator for more than 13 years. She has worked for many different clients, including the BBC, Kingfisher, Hodder, Templar, OUP, card companies and many others. Over this time her work has evolved, becoming fresher and more spontaneous, whilst retaining a strong emphasis on drawing.

This really is likely to be a Bible to keep forever and read over and over again - maybe even through more than one generation! -- Melanie Carroll * The Good Bookstall * `The starting lines that set in context the ideas and intent of each story for young readers, in no way interfere with the enjoyment of a good well told story, which is provided every time.' * Together *
