1. The Bee-Man of Orn

9. Muti’s Necklace by Louise Hawes & Rebecca Guay

An Egyptian folktale about a headstrong oarswoman—adapted from the Westcar Papyrus, an ancient Egyptian text containing five stories, from between the 18th and 16th centuries BC—indeed one of the oldest recorded fairy-tales. An English translation of the original is in Miriam Lichtheim’s Ancient Egyptian Literature, Volume I: The Old and Middle Kingdoms.
