Peter Palmer
100 Bible stories and 400 illustrations from The Children’s King James New Testament, and 100 more stores and 400 more illustrations were done for The Children’s Old Testament (McGraw-Hill) Mrs. Palmer and Mr. Lee were hired to do these excellent stories and illustrations. Their instructions: Stories were to be short and simple, no more than 500 words per story; no pictures purporting to be Jesus; a single line of Scripture below each illustration, four illustrations for each story; each illustration to cover a part of the story (so the child can follow the story by relating to the illustrations). Originally, all this was done in lovely color. 3
