Synopsis

Discover the fascinating stories of gods, goddesses, monsters & mortals “The God Ra sprang to life with a word already in his mouth. More bubbled up. Words now crowded his mouth. They trampled his tongue and pushed against his teeth, his lips. He had so many words to enunciate. The need hammered at him. From that very need came lungs and a voice box and muscles to make it all move …” From powerful Ra, God of Radiance, to the tender and protective Aset, Devoted Wife and Mother, the captivating tales in this stunning volume will excite and delight readers for many years to come. Lyrical stories take you from the creation of the earth and sky to lengthy battles between gods, and each story tells of the enchanting and magical lives of magnetic characters that will charm audiences of all ages.
