Review
This authoritative volume assumes no previous knowledge of the subject and no special language skills. It equips the interested reader with the ability to grasp the basic hieroglyphic alphabet to decode script, magic texts and the names of gods. With welcome clarity and by utilising canny learning signposts, Bridget McDermot's book highlights the most commonly used signs so that their meaning and context may be readily understood. Fascinating anecdotal information on Egyptian gods, pharaohs, family life and society round out the volume, which is the ideal guide to the subject for the layman.
