I loved this very much s a child and read it with my mother. For some reason what I particularly remember are the pictures on the inside cover and end papers of events rom the Old Testament, not in any particular order. The pictures are nice colorful pictures in a slightly stylized realistic form. The stories naturally tend to come from the more exciting narratives --there is a lot of Genesis and Exodus and Judges, the stories of David and Solomon , then Elijah and a little of the fall of Jerusalem and Daniel, finally Esther. David and Goliath was my favorite as a child --I named 2 teddy bears Goliath and David. Oddly enough, the one I really loved was Goliath. ( )
