The Book
Once upon a time, there was a man called Christian who lived in the City of Destruction with his wife and four children. He wasn’t very rich but he worked quite hard and earned enough money to buy all the food and clothes which his family needed. He had a smart little wooden house and plenty of friends and neighbours to gossip with, and for a long time he was really happy. Then one day he found the book. It was lying on the floor of his attic – covered in dust and cobwebs. He picked it up and rubbed the dirt off the cover with his sleeve. 7
