The second part of John Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress , featuring the travels of the family of the first pilgrim and a neighbour whose name is Mercy, has been overshadowed.

With the appearance of Great-heart and such a large cast, and a balance of the homely and adventurous, there is much to be commended here in the dream about Christiana, the wife of Christian and mother of their four boys. The author, as before, shares his own observations to make the book interesting for the modern reader.
