BEDFORD TOURISM OFFICE - Key Persons

Bunyan is famous as a prisoner of conscience, who was prepared to spend twelve years of his life in prison because he refused to submit to the power of the state to dictate how he should worship. But he is famous also as the author of The Pilgrim's Progress, one of the greatest classics in the English language. First published in 1678, with a second part added in 1684, this amazing book has never been out of print.
