Cover Story
The illustration on the cover of this issue of Books for Keeps shows the arrival of King Sahure's funeral procession at the pyramid at Abusir around 2473 BC. Reconstructed from archaeological evidence, this illustration by David Salariya and Shirley Willis is taken from Ancient Egypt by Rosalie and Antony E. David, published by Kingfisher in the History as Evidence series (0 86272 091 5, £3.95). We are grateful to Kingfisher for help in using this illustration. (See Information Please, pages 20-21)

Norah's Ark
Puddle Farm suffers from a shortage of water -- the pond is too small -- but not for long; there's a flood on the way. With the animals' help. Norah turns the barn into an ark and everyone climbs safely aboard, and they decide to turn disaster into a holiday cruise. In this paperback form, the quality of the original is retained so that the distinctive primitive stylised artwork of Reg Cartwright can be enjoyed to the full and, hopefully, by a wider audience than the hardback. In my experience it has proved a book which appeals to a broad age range: 4 to 9ish.
