Here is the Story of Esther in scroll form, aka, The Megillah, or Megillat Esther. It is in English, with just an instructional "page" in Hebrew. This scroll most likely dates to the 1960s or 1970s. I have found only one other online which is *nearly* identical, the only difference being that it is older because the illustrations are in pure black & white, without gold-colored trim on the top and/or bottom of the paper, or enhancing the illustrations. You can view it by Googling, "Vintage Jewish Hebrew Megillah The Story Of Ester Scroll Judaism". That one states that it is from circa 1940s or 1950s and is priced at $124.98. There you can see the complete Megillah with the ownership & title page in tact. This one has been torn off.
