Dust Jacket Condition: Jacket is very good. Illustrated with hieroglyphs drawn by the translator and with paintings from Egyptian tombs by Nina M. Davies (illustrator). First edition. Romantic, idyllic, humorous, even satirical, sometimes naive, almost always graceful, these songs from the time of the last great pharaohs of Egypt preserve a picture of daily life of the New Kingdom, the last great flourishing of ancient Egyptian civilization. These ancient verses sing as poetry to the modern ear, and the translations are faithful to the spirit and idiom of the originals. Wearing the mantle of scholarship lightly, the poems re-create pe0ple of flesh and blood out of the distant past. A few foxed spots along top edge of text block.

Original grey cloth-backed marbled boards lettered white on spine. Bookplate of John Lewis. Presentation copy: 'A close friend is a rare and difficult thing to find.

In the short time spent at Meadow Cottage I have come to hold an affection for it. for the character only an old home has, for its vast collection of books, pottery and paintings, its squirrels and "Peeping Tits". but even greater is my affection and fondness for my dear friends there. and what is a friend? I will tell you. A friend is someone with whom I dare to be myself. With much love, Sue Christmas 1974.' The amusing content is part collage, and part hand coloured drawings with handwritten and printed text. The U.N.C.O.U.T.H.
