Pilgrim's Progress

Retelling a 17th-century story in current language must have been a challenge. I wonder what inspired the choices to make it accessible yet faithful to the original's spirit.

The story's themes of perseverance and faith felt more immediate and personal with the modern phrasing. Did the fresh language change how others connected with the characters?

It’s a delicate line—maintaining the profound messages while keeping young readers captivated. How well do you think this version achieved that?
