I love this series， as does my nephew （who has read Greek Myths 6 times this year， at time of writing）。 It’s a fantastic introduction to Egyptian myths， laid out fantastically and beautifully illustrated！It might be aimed at children primarily but I learned so much on my read through - Egyptian mythology is more varied than I ever imagined and I’m glad I got to experience an intro here。 Can’t wait to see what’s next for this fab series！

（A rambling review of my thoughts after finishing the book！）Another beautiful treasure trove of fascinating information this time focusing on Egyptian Myths。 I loved the recent Greek Myths DK book so this was a preorder from the moment I discovered it was coming out - and I wasn’t disappointed。 Although I didn’t quite love it as much as the Greek Myths one （a personal preference - I find Greek mythology more interesting overall） I was still utterly intrigued by the tales told about the gods and （A rambling review of my thoughts after finishing the book！）Another beautiful treasure trove of fascinating information this time focusing on Egyptian Myths。 I loved the recent Greek Myths DK book so this was a preorder from the moment I discovered it was coming out - and I wasn’t disappointed。 Although I didn’t quite love it as much as the Greek Myths one （a personal preference - I find Greek mythology more interesting overall） I was still utterly intrigued by the tales told about the gods and goddesses of Egypt and its many pharaohs。 Now I was obsessed with Ancient Egypt as a youngster， especially Cleopatra， so this was a very accessible book that filled me in on the mythology of Egypt and its fierce， back stabbing and ambitious gods and goddesses （Isis is one of my favourites I must admit！）。 Again， this is a book aimed at children but even as a 30 year old I was sucked in by the information and tales presented。 The writing is accessible but not dumbed down in anyway; it is filled with rich descriptions and detailed information on this enchanting mythology。 The glossary and pronunciation guide was very much appreciated also！ The artwork again is just pure *chefs kiss*。 Detailed， vibrant and beautifully presented， it perfectly accentuated the rich information provided。 I particularly enjoyed the pages focusing on each individual god and goddess and the illustrations just bring it all to life。 Overall， Egyptian Myths is a great addition to my bookcase and one that I would add to the bookcases of younger readers to consume and enjoy。 I definitely would have devoured this as a youngster！ 。。。more
