The Dragon and the Garden (Paperback)

Once upon a time, there was a man and a woman in a Garden. And then suddenly, a serpent. 

Look Inside the Book

Prepare to see the Garden of Eden as you always wished you could – tangible, leaves rustling, the scent of fruit on the breeze. This beautiful and imaginative children’s book brings the story of our parents’ fall to life and points to the work of Jesus Christ, the greater Adam.

This retelling by children’s author N.D. Wilson and illustrator Peter Bentley looks at the story of our first parents with wild realism, but also with a childlike honesty and clarity that bring new depth to an old truth. Books in The Old Stories series are designed to help children (and adults) reimagine biblical stories, seeing things they have never seen before. Ages 4 and up.

What People Are Saying:

“Bentley’s illustrations add much to this picture book and are in keeping with Wilson’s Medieval retelling. Imaginative and colorful, they picture a rich, vibrant garden. They also point to Christ, the Great King who would remake the world…and undo all the evil that Adam and Eve had done.” -Betsy, The Redeemed Reader

READER REVIEWS:

“This is an incredible, reformed, refreshing telling of the fall and promise of the coming of the Messiah. The artistic nature of the book is beautiful while not sacrificing clear, solid theology. My three boys love this book being read to them and just flipping through the pages looking at the vibrant illustrations. Thank you N.D. Wilson!” -James

“My two year old LOVES this book.” -Rita
