Bumper Tales from the Bible
£8.99
Popular storyteller Bob Hartman is renowned for his fresh take on often-told stories, bringing them to life with vibrant characters and a lively twist in the tale. Now Bob Hartman’s previous Unauthorized Old and New Testament Tales PLUS his Unauthorized More Bible Tales are packed into this bumper book of mischief! Each story is retold with an original slant from the point of view of a minor character involved, and is full of humor, mischief, silliness and fun. The black and white line illustrations perfectly match the playful style of the storytelling, and makes an ideal read for those who prefer something a little more wayward on their bookshelves, particularly boys aged 7-9.
