| Synopsis: |
For three thousand years, the Egyptian civilisation was the greatest on Earth. In the beautiful hieroglyphs, carved on tomb and temple walls, the ancient Egyptians wrote all they believed about the world: about Ra the sun god, Thoth, the god of the moon and the Measurer of Time, Osiris and Isis who gave people their skills, and about the long journey after death through the Underworld to the Fields of Peace. Enter a magical world of gods and sorcerors, with these spellbinding stories, re-told by an award-winning children's author and made lively, fresh and accesible for today's readers. |
