As part of these celebrations, Lion Children's Books has been specially commissioned to produce a book and CD package of Cliff Richard's 50 favourite Bible stories, which have been brought together in this colourfully presented hardback to make not only a special commemorative item but a book that can be enjoyed every day. These stories are retold by acclaimed writer and dramatist Brian Sibley and read aloud by Cliff himself for a whole new generation of young ones to enjoy. Stylish and witty illustrations by Stephen Waterhouse make the book a visual treat to enjoy while reading or listening.
