Lion Children’s Books, 2013.
ISBN 9780745976051, 48 pages, paperback.
Richly illustrated children’s book for 8-12’s with a delightful twist: each story is told from the women’s perspective.
Illustrated by Alida Massari.
Margaret McAllister imaginatively retells these tales from the point of view of the women involved: Noah’s wife, Miriam, Ruth, Mary mother of Jesus, Pilate’s wife, Mary Magdalene are among some of the women who put their side of the story forward. A stylish compilation of Bible stories with a difference, this is a perfect gift for girls.
