Bible. Book of Tobit

Today's free book is the Biblical Book of Tobit which is one of the deuterocanonical books of the Bible; you can find out more at Wikipedia.

The book is available at Project Gutenberg (I have not checked for other online sources). There's also a free audiobook at LibriVox.


Scenes from The Book of Tobit have been incredibly popular with artists over the years; below you will find just a few of the many works of art throughout the churches and museums of Europe that tell the story of Tobit and his son Tobias:

The Fitzwilliam 'Sheldon' tapestries:

Bouguereau. Tobias Saying Good-Bye to his Father
