The life
John Bunyan was an English preacher and writer, a tinker's son with little schooling who served in the parliamentary army as a teenager. He spent twelve years in Bedford gaol for preaching without a licence, refusing release on the condition that he stop, and began The Pilgrim's Progress there. Published in 1678, it has never been out of print and has been translated into some two hundred languages.
