Excerpt from Mary Bunyan, the Dreamer's Blind Daughter: A Tale of Religious Persecution
Two hundred years ago Since then what changes have passed over Merry England.
Two hundred years ago there stood in Bedfordshire, near Harlington, a low, thatched cottage, the dwelling of a pious husbandman. To it let us go.
It is a calm autumnal evening. The sunset sleeps upon the green hills and twilight drops her curtain. The labors of the day are over, and around the kitchen hearth are gathered the rustics of the adjoining hamlets, awaiting in eager expectancy the coming of one who shall break to the hungry the bread of life, and speak words of cheer to the fainting.
A noble figure, clad in the peculiar garb of that age, stands at the door and knocks. It is John Bunyan.
