About the Author

HELEN LOUISA TAYLOR (1850-1929) was the daughter of a silk manufacturer in Derby, England. She excelled in her studies as the only girl in an all-boys school. Later she wrote for magazines and published several books, including Little Christian's Pilgrimage: The Story of the Pilgrim's Progress Simply Told (1889) and Christiana, The Story of the Pilgrim's Progress Second Part (1902). Many years ago Moody Publishers purchased the rights to both books, updated them, and created the bestselling Little Pilgrim's Progress series.

JOE SUTPHIN illustrates children's books and graphic novels. These include the timeless classic Little Pilgrim's Progress, the official graphic novelization of Richard Adams's masterwork Watership Down, Andrew Peterson's beloved Wingfeather Saga, and more. Joe's fascination with nature, and the living creatures in the fields and woods around his home, has informed his art for much of his life. Joe lives in a barn with his wife, Gina, and a bunch of cats.
