The collection includes 31 clear and interesting stories from the Old and New Testaments, retold for children 5-10 years old.

During his lifetime, the French artist Gustave Doré created hundreds of illustrations of biblical stories. His illustrations were used in various editions of the Bible in various languages in Europe in the 19th century, and later in the countries of North and South America. Gustave Doré's contemporaries criticized his work and doubted his competence as an artist. Nevertheless, his illustrations have withstood the test of time and still vividly reflect important biblical events.
