False Coin, True Coin

After befriending John Bunyan, a prisoner in her father's jail, Cissy leaves a life of drudgery for the the bustle of seventeenth-century London where she endures the horrors of the Great Plague and experiences the power of Christ.

When Lois Dick read about the grim realities of John Bunyan's imprisonment and his courageous refusal to stop preaching, she knew she wanted to write a book about him. "Then I saw it all through the eyes of Cissy," Mrs. Dick writes, "and I remembered myself at that age--the doubts I had."

Mrs. Dick's writing career spans thirty years, with biography and history as her special interests. She is the author of three biographies for adults, and her stories, flashcard lessons, and magazine articles have been enjoyed by children all over the world.
