This keepsake edition of The Book of Jonah was taken from the King James translation of the Bible. The King James Translation is a masterwork of style, and the most important book in the English language, it has been the driving force in shaping the English-speaking world for hundreds of years.

The Book of Jonah is almost entirely narrative, with the exception of the poem in chapter 2. The actual prophetic word against Nineveh is given only in passing through the narrative. As with any good narrative, the story of Jonah has a setting, characters, a plot, and themes. It also relies heavily on such literary devices as irony. Jonah is the central character in the Book of Jonah, in which God commands him to go to the city of Nineveh to prophesy against it for their great wickedness is come up before me, but Jonah instead attempts to flee.

The Book of Jonah is one of the shortest books in the bible and is sold at or near the publisher’s cost and offered up for the collector who wished to have an unbroken set of this keepsake editions.
