The story of Joseph and his coat of many colours is one of the oldest stories in the world. As a young man, Joseph, his father's favourite son, is hated by his brothers who sell him as a slave for twenty pieces of silver. The young man grows up and survives the prisons and slave markets of Ancient Egypt. He rises to fame, becomes a ruler, and then meets his brothers again. This ancient story is brought to life by Brian Wildsmith in this spectacular version, set amid the landscapes of vast deserts and the immense architecture of Ancient Egypt. The popular book is now being published in paperback.

If you like the story this is a must!
Superbly illustrated on a grand sumptuous scale befitting a ruler in ancient Egypt. The story is told in a beautiful touching narrative. I would have loved to see Joseph's dreams in the illustrations and the royal butler and baker's dreams in the story but these are minor quibbles with the otherwise lovely illustrations that convey the grandeur yet the humanity of the story.
