Illustrated by
Christina Balit.
Napoli brings a storyteller's art and a scholar's diligence to the myriad deities of ancient Egypt. Skillfully structuring her narrative from early creation stories to the Third Dynasty's Imhotep, she weaves a well-chosen sample of myths into a disarmingly informal narrative. Illustrator Balit gathers ancient Egyptian forms and motifs into dynamic compositions. Beautiful and indispensable. Reading list, timeline, websites. Bib., ind.
