John Bunyan's story of a pilgrim's journey towards the 'Celestial City'.

Bunyan wrote it while in gaol for preaching without a licence. The crowds
he collected caused fear of sedition; and the back end of The Protectorate,
and Restoration England, was no time to challenge authority. He spent twelve
years in prison rather than not preach.

The Pilgrim's Progress is Bunyan's banned preaching buried in a Don Quixote/
allegorical style novel. Whether the form was adopted because it suited Bunyan,
or just because that was what he thought a novel was, is not known.

The BBC's production is a straightforward narrative. Mostly easy on the ear.
Xian or no, it's worth listening to for the light it casts on that period
in English history.
