Peter Rabbit goes Egyptian
Beatrix Potter's books, with their enchanting tales and delightful illustrations, have always been loved by children and sort after by collectors. And now, after more than 60 years after her death, there is a new book out there which every collector desiring a complete collection will want. The British Museum have just published The Tale of Peter Rabbit in hieroglyphs. Press information from The British Museum Press tells us that the full text of this famous and widely-loved book has been "faithfully translated and transcribed into hieroglyphic script that would have been familiar to the literate Egyptian of the Middle Kingdom". How bizarre! How wonderful!
