Book Reviews of Tales of the Dead: Ancient Egypt
Book Review: Great Illustrations-Weak Text
Summary: 4 Stars
"Tales of the Dead-Ancient Egypt" is an intertwined text that combines a short graphic novel and factoids about Ancient Egypt. The graphic novel tale of two kids and their run in with tomb robbers is basic and not especially good. But what really makes this book are the "factoids" and the wonderfully detailed illustrations that accompany them. Richard Bonson is a gifted illustrator who specializes in detailed cross sectional renderings of buildings. The Italian illustrators from Studio Inklink are an especially capable group of historical illustrators. The illustrations in this book are first rate and a used copy can be purchased at little cost. All in all, I thought "Tales of the Dead-Ancient Egypt" was a very good purchase.
