Presented in a gift edition, and in the language of the Authorized Version, this book includes stories and poems from the Old Testament, from the account in Genesis of the creation of the world, and the stories of the wandering of the Jewish people and God's role in their history, through the Psalms to the books of the prophets. The text is illustrated throughout with medieval illuminations and old masters. The volume is bound in heavy boards with real bookcloth, with a coloured label and ribbon bookmark.
