Voices of Ancient Egypt

(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Barry Moser & Barry Moser. On parchment-colored paper, with Moser's desert-toned, arid-looking art showing the various occupations portrayed, this series of free verse poems speaks in the voices of ancient Egyptian workers--from scribe to embalmer to clothes-washer. The verse is picturesque and apt, signaling an ancient culture without being stiff, and the accurate illustrations complete the portrait. Historical note. Bib.
