Paradise Lost: Legacy Edition (Clothbound Hardcover) with 50 Classic Illustrations by Gustave Dore

First published in 1667, John Milton’s narrative poem presents an epic sweep of salvation history centered in the Garden of Eden. Through the retelling of the story of Adam and Eve, Milton addresses the origin of evil and suffering in the world and God’s redemptive dealings with mankind.

The Legacy Edition from Lithos Kids is unabridged and has spelling that has been lightly updated in cases where it would confuse modern readers. Explanatory notes are included in the margins for allusions to Greek mythology and obscure words.

• Introduction by Dr. Leland Ryken
• Cover design by Stephen Crotts
• 50 vintage illustrations by the renowned Gustave Doré; modified to cover nudity
• Genuine cloth cover with gold foil print and a ribbon page marker

*Note, this Legacy Edition book is aimed towards teens and adults. Paradise Lost is filled with glorious truths, but it is written in poetic prose that some find difficult.*
