Welcome back, or welcome in. This time the fireside carries us to ancient Egypt for The Legend of Ra and Isis, a tale rich with gods, secrets, and quiet cunning. It is a story where wisdom outmanoeuvres power, and where even the Sun God finds himself caught in a web of careful trickery. This version is adapted from Legends of the Gods by E. A. Wallis Budge, first published in London in 1916, and drawn from much older Egyptian tradition.
