Tales of Ancient Egypt
Tales of Ancient Egypt | Roger Lancelyn Green
3 posts | 4 read | 2 to read
These stories include the great myths - of Amen-Ra, who created all the creatures in the world; of Isis, seaching the waters for her dead husband Osiris; of the Bennu Bird and the Book of Thoth. But there are also tales told for pleasure about magic, treasure and adventure - even the first ever Cinderella story. With a witty introduction by award-winning author, poet and former Children's Laureate, Michael Rosen.

DNF: There is some interesting stories in here, but I had a hard time picking it up to read them. Five months later I‘m going to give up on trying to read it.

Here you go, @Moray_Reads !

I received this old Puffin paperback when I was in grade four and it‘s led to a lifelong fascination with the subject: from junior high book reports to numerous Classics courses in university (including one on reading hieroglyphics), and (ultimately) ... a honeymoon in Egypt. 😂😂

Congrats on the Litsy milestone!

saresmoore I love everything about this post! 5y
Melissa_J You were able to take a hieroglyphics course in university? How cool is that! I took one archaeology course, but that was it (only because it was the only archaeology course offered period 😢) 5y
Melissa_J Oh, and I always super impressed that you still have books from your childhood. I have some that I‘ve had since high school, but nothing from when I was a kid. 5y

Moray_Reads I learned to live ancient Egypt at about the same age, though I've never had the opportunity to visit. But it did least to a lifelong fascination with history. Thanks for entering ❤️ 5y
