Brief descriptive credits are printed inside the portfolio's cover. Very good. Based on the novel by Lloyd C. Douglas, "'The Big Fisherman' is the story of Simon Peter, a two-fisted Galilean who put down his nets in a momentus act of faith; Fara, half Judean and half Arabian is driven from her homeland on an errand of vengeance; Voldi is the young Arabian prince who takes up her vendetta when she is purged of hate; and Antipas and Herodias are the dissolute rulers of Galilee whose reign is marked by tyranny." [Quoted from the descriptive text of the story printed inside the cover]. RARE. Very good .
