"One group of ancient Egyptian drawings has captured the curiosity of scholars and
laypeople alike: images of animals acting like people. They illustrate animal fables
originally from a larger mythological narrative, making them an integral part of New
Kingdom Thebes's religious environment. This book examines the purpose of animal fables,
drawing cross cultural and temporal comparisons to other storytelling and artistic
traditions. This publication is also the first thorough art historical treatment of
the ostraca and papyri. The drawings' iconography and aesthetic value are carefully
examined, providing further nuance to our understanding of ancient Egyptian art"
