The Dorling Kindersley Illustrated Family Bible
Dr Claude-Bernard Costecalde
This lavish, thoughtful, full colour production is more informative than just the usual collection of Bible stories with pictures. Text from the New Internationalist Version is used for the tellings which are each given a double page spread. In addition there are narrative illustrations, commentary, photographs of artefacts and places, additional information and an explanation of the meaning and significance of the text in question. There are an additional 15 pages on Bible background and characters and a useful contents and index. At £25 this title is not a must but it would make a gift to treasure or a suggestion for a purchase from PTA funds. It could also be the destination of cash raised through competition winnings.
