Bob's Hike to the Holy City / Thompson, Frank C / (HC/1927-1927/B/USED)

*Condition Note: Mild to moderate cover wear. Moderate binding wear. Mild page wear.*

The plan of this children's story was suggested to the author by the reading of Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress.
In telling this tale the attempt has been made to use the allegorical method in portraying the real experiences of a modern Boy Scout and his sister on the road of life.
Living, fun-loving, adventurous children move across the stage and tell the story of their struggles and triumphs.
The aim has been to make the adventures of young folks in morals and religion as interesting as those found in the Arabian Nights.
If the children who read this book are half as much interested as the large group of boys and girls to whom it was first told, the author will be satisfied.—Frank C. Thompson, Los Angeles, Cal., October 1, 1926.
