The Pilgrim’s Progress, by John Bunyan

<p>From cockfighting, bear baiting, and like sports, the wife of John Bunyan converted him to a life of humility and reverence. While imprisoned for preaching, he used his idle time in writing a fantastic story of a soul's salvation -- probably the most famous allegory ever written. (Volume 15, Harvard Classics)</p> <p>John Bunyan liberated and pardoned, Sept. 13, 1672.</p>
