Old Testament Legends - Illustrated by HJ Ford - Easy to Read Layout
If you read the title-page of this book, you will see that it contains stories taken "out of some of the less-known apocryphal books of the Old Testament."
The word apocryphal is specially used in connection with the Bible. Nearly all of these books have been at some time or another read in church and treated as Scripture. Nearly all of them are now treated as Scripture by the Roman Church, but not by most of the Protestant, or Reformed, Churches. They are on the borderland of the Bible.
In this present book, I am only concerned with the apocryphal stories; with the prophecies and visions and psalms I have nothing to do.
I have now said enough to show of what sort the tales are that are told in this book-some of them told for the first time in English. They are not true, but they are very old; some of them, I think, are beautiful, and all of them seem to me interesting.
Table of Contents :
1. Adam
2. The Death of Adam and Eve
3. Abraham
4. The Story of Aseneth, Joseph's Wife
5. Job
6. Solomon and the Demons
7. The Story of Ebedmelech the Ethiopian, and of the Death of Jeremiah
8. Ahikar

Über den Autor
M. R. James (1 August 1862 - 12 June 1936) was an English author, medievalist scholar and provost of King's College, Cambridge, and of Eton College. He also served as the Vice-Chancellor of the University of Cambridge. Though James's work as a medievalist and scholar is still highly regarded, he is best remembered for his ghost stories, which some regard as among the best in the genre. James redefined the ghost story for the new century by abandoning many of the formal Gothic clichés of his predecessors and using more realistic contemporary settings. James held strongly traditional views about literature. In addition to ghost stories, he also enjoyed reading the work of William Shakespeare and the detective stories of Agatha Christie, but disliked most contemporary literature.
