About this listen

The new National Geographic Treasury of Egyptian Mythology is a stunning tableau of Egyptian myths, including those of pharaohs, queens, the boisterous Sun God Ra, and legendary creatures like the Sphinx. The lyrical storytelling of award-winning author Donna Jo Napoli dramatizes the timeless tales of ancient Egypt in the year when Angelina Jolie will make Cleopatra a multimedia star.

And just like the popular National Geographic Treasury of Greek Mythology, the stories in this book will be beautifully illustrated to bring ancient characters vividly to life. The stories are embellished with sidebars that provide historical, cultural, and geographic context and a mapping feature that adds to the fun and fascination. Resource notes and ample back matter direct readers to discover more about ancient Egypt. With its attractive design and beautiful narrative, this accessible treasury stands out from all other mythology titles in the marketplace.

Not just for children

The marketing of this book is slanted to children, but as an adult I thoroughly enjoyed it. Yes, the language gets a bit childish in places ("Really?...Really?") but those spots just made me smile. I only wish the book was longer and covered a few more gods and goddesses. Also, there were a couple of chapters that did not deal with mythology but were more like a history lessen. Not a terrible thing but with the book already being short, I wish those chapters had been used for more stories.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
