Tuck in your bandages, adjust your death mask and join Bastet on her insightful tour of the Ancient Egyptian afterlife.
'Our feline guide navigates readers through the macabre realm of the dead with a great deal of self-irony and humour (think of the Horrible Histories series), which is bound to appeal to children and grown-ups alike.' - The International Board on Books for Young People (IBBY UK)
A light-hearted, but nonetheless informative insight into the fascinating beliefs and traditions of Ancient Egypt. Striking collage illustrations by Laura Winstone bring a freshness of tone to a subject matter that might be ancient, but never grows old.
"Hello my newly dead friends. Gather round. My name is Bastet and I'm going to be your tour guide to the afterlife. Please make sure your bandages don't trail as we walk along."
Bastet is a mummified cat who is here to take you on a journey through the mystical death rituals of Ancient Egypt. Starting with some routine disembowelment and mummification, she explains about the role of the coffins, the separation of your soul, the importance of amulets and the various types of Egyptian tombs. Together, you will cross the river Styx and face the gods in one final judgement - the weighing of the heart. Bastet will make sure you have everything you need in the afterlife, because, it turns out, you can take it with you after all!
