Book Synopsis
Entertaining retelling of Bible stories ideal for 7+ year old children

Trade Review
"I had not appreciated what an amusing book the Bible is until I saw it through Robert Duncan's eyes." -- Church of England Newspaper
"An irresistible interpretation of the Scriptures' was how I described this slender but brilliant tome when it first appeared back in 1976, when my children, who loved it, were a lot younger - or even non-existent in some cases. Like the work on which they are based, Robert Duncan's entertaining retelling of these stories has survived the test of time and will, I hope, thanks to this revived and refreshed edition, entrance many future generations." -- Sir Tim Rice, lyricist and author
"The stories are beautifully and succinctly told with gentle humour. Each story would take around ten minutes to read and I can imagine most children not wanting to stop at one. Would make an ideal book as a gift at a christening or dedication and if you have a library of children's books at church, this would be a delightful addition to the collection." -- Andy Peck; Premier YCW Magazine Online Hub
