"A little boy asked his mother which of the characters in The Pilgrim's Progress she liked best. She replied, 'Christian, of course; he is the hero of the whole story.' Her son said, 'I don't. I like Christiana best. For when Christian went on his pilgrimage, he went alone, but when Christiana went, she took the children with her.'"(Source: Spurgeon's Sermon Notes)
