For kids--but with solid info that oldsters can appreciate too submitted by hathaway1066 on July 20, 2015, 10:23am Though this is written as a book for children it will not be a chore for adults to read to them. There is interesting historical context for Champollion's work in terms of Napoleon's rise and fall, and so on.
