Pilgrim Stories

The Pilgrim’s heroic struggle, along with the history of many iconic figures from this time period, will clearly come into view and meaningful context in this engaging and well-researched book.

In this newly edited and expanded edition, children will learn not only the faithful saga of the Separatist’s struggle for religious freedom, but also that young Rembrandt was just learning to walk when the Pilgrims arrived in Leiden, that Galileo was fighting his own battle for religious and scientific freedom, and that William Brewster served as clerk to Queen Elizabeth’s secretary until the ill-fated execution of Elizabeth’s half sister, Mary.

With whimsical illustrations by Christen Blechschmid, children and parents alike will see the world as the Pilgrims saw and lived it.
