The Tale of Peter Rabbit: Hieroglyph Edition

Peter rabbit hieroglphic edition is a real novelty. I enjoy putting my knowledge of ancient middle Egyptian to the test and am delighted to find the same much loved illustrations. This book is a real delight.

The first question is why would anybody do this, but when you see this little book it all becomes clear - it's for fun! To see this familiar story beautifully crafted into Egyptian Hieroglyphics, where there is no obvious word for McGregor, is a pleasure in itself. My one regret is that the original English text is not included. It would have been even more fun had it been there side by side. That notwithstanding, the original illustrations are there, beautiful as always. Thank you Professor Nunn, and Beatrix Potter.

It was a gift much appreciated by the recipient

Fun book to have

語彙の解説がしっかりあれば、もっと読みやすいと思います。現状では、せっかく買っても読み解くのを断念する人がほとんどなのでは…、と思います。私は少しずつ楽しみながら解読しています。
