Free Kindle I Am The Mummy Heb-Nefert ebooks Download
Clad in flowing linen robes, adorned with jewels, pampered by servants, Heb-Nefert led a life of leisure and joy with her royal husband on the banks of the Nile. Now she lies, a mummy, encased in glass in a museum, and recalls the days of long ago. “A mummy’s moving soliloquy on youth, love and the fleeting nature of life is the centerpiece of this hauntingly beautiful picture book.”--Publishers Weekly

I can't easily picture a kid who would appreciate even a quarter of all the subtlety packed into this thin book, and I'm not sure I'd want to meet a kid who did. But Oh! For adults, what a haunting, utterly unforgettable treat! This is a book full of color and joy, and yet it's one of the single saddest books I've read in English - and the entire spectrum presented with no fanfare or folderol whatsoever. When you read it out loud - and I feel pretty sure you will - be sure to pause a little extra for the last page.
Amazing artwork! This is a beautiful book for anyone who loves Ancient Egypt. It's also a thought-provoking story, considering the transience of a woman's beauty. I loved the rhythmic language, and especially the amazing illustrations. A wonderful addition to any bookshelf!
I love picture books for children. I have collected them for years. The term 'for children' is a little incorrect. Everyone can love them, and this book is no exception. The prose is lyrical, though melancholy, and it could stand alone.The illustrations, however, take the cake. David Christensen (will check and correct) is famliar to me. The colors, the forms, the mood, all are wonderful, lyrical, satisfying.
Shows the fascination we have with the ancient through magical watercolor illustrations. Interesting story line, reminding us that each one from the past has a history, a mom and a dad and things they loved.
