As part of its commitment to sustain literacy strategies in schools and to encourage children to read, MUT Publications Ltd. has launched a new book for children as part of its popular Sensiela Kotba Saghtar.
The book is called “Leggendi mill-Egittu tal-Qedem” and has been written and illustrated by Victor Pulis, with typesetting and production by Annabelle Attard. Distribution is being carried out by Matthew Falzon.
During a book-reading activity held at St. Aloysius College Primary School, Balzan, students had the opportunity to meet the author and to listen to a short extract of each book. The activity was also addressed by MUT Publications Ltd. Director and General Editor Charles Magro.
This book tells about 14 fascinating legends from Ancient Egypt. There are gods, kings, pharaohs, and many other characters which together went through adventures over many centuries of this now lost civilisation.
These legends are known through word of mouth or through the many hieroglyphs and other inscriptions on pyramids, temples and catacombs which were found since then.
