Item description
Beatrix Potter's best-loved The Tale of Peter Rabbit told in ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs.
Based on the official centenary edition published in 2002, the tale has been faithfully translated into the script of Middle Kingdom Egypt and illustrated with Potter's original artwork.
Beatrix Potter (1866-1943) was an English writer, illustrator, natural scientist and conservationist best known for her childrens books featuring animals, most notably The Tale of Peter Rabbit. Peter Rabbits namesake was a Belgian buck rabbit called Peter Piper who was bought at a very tender age, in the Uxbridge Road, Shepherds Bush, for an exorbitant sum of 4/6. He was to prove a sound investment, as Potters affectionate companion inspired one of the worlds best-loved fictional characters and earned his owner enduring international acclaim. After Beatrix Potters death, her folio of The Tale of the Flopsy Bunnies came into the possession of the British Museum.
An example of Beatrix Potters hand-drawn images featuring the beloved Peter Rabbit can be found in the Prints and Drawings department of the British Museum.
A charming gift for fans of Egyptian history.
