“Book Descriptions: A picture book edition of the classic, Ozymandias, was composed in 1817 by P.B. Shelley.
"I met a traveler..."
With these words the English poet Percy Shelley transported his readers to ancient Egypt. Ozymandias is the great pharoah Ramses II, whose statue Shelley imagined lying broken in the deset and whose name he chose as the title for his poem.
In this unique interpretation of Ozymandias, Shelley and the traveler come to life in an extraordinary gallery of dreamlike illustrations.
With an introduction by British poet Gerard Benson and notes for further reading, this book opens up to children a classic of Romantic poetry.
Sculptor and illustrator Theo Gayer-Anderson lives in Egypt.”
