# Literary Classics in Hieroglyphics Beatrix Potter Gets Egyptian Makeover By Cowbag | Published 2008-10-09 | Life-Stages Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ancient-egyptian-beatrix-potter-english-classics-in-hieroglyphics References: [notcot.org](http://www.notcot.org/post/14741/) & [britishmuseumshoponline.org](http://www.britishmuseumshoponline.org/invt/cmc19694) This is a simply brilliant idea that promotes Egypt and reading in one creative package. This translation combines the [famous rabbit that wears fluffy clothes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dearcloud-x-miffy) with the [British Museum](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rachel-riley)’s world-renowned expertise and scholarship. The complete text of Beatrix Potter’s [beloved ‘Tale of Peter Rabbit’](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/punchkins-book-plushies) has been faithfully translated and transcribed page for page into hieroglyphics, using the script of a Middle Kingdom Egyptian. However, the illustrations in the book are the original full-color artwork created by Beatrix Potter. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.1/10 - Popularity: 1% | Activity: 23% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Life-Stages](https://www.trendhunter.com/life-stages) > [Youth](https://www.trendhunter.com/youth) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Cultural Crossover:** The merging of cultures presents an opportunity for unique and creative product development. - **Heritage Reinterpretation:** Redesigning traditional objects for modern consumers presents an opportunity for innovation and market disruption. - **Language and Literary Innovations:** Innovations in literary translation and the use of different writing systems can create new opportunities for storytelling and content creation. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Publishing:** The publishing industry has the potential to explore new markets and create innovative products through cultural and linguistic adaptations. - **Tourism:** The tourism industry can leverage cultural crossovers to create unique experiences for travelers and promote cross-cultural exchange. - **Education:** The education industry can use these innovative products to promote language and cultural learning in a creative and engaging way. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Dainty Tale-Inspired Candles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/goose-creek.md) - [Detailed Ceramic Book Vases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/biblio-bloom.md) - [Equitable Fairy Tale Books](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fair-tales-by-odeabank.md) - [Floral Clover Fragrances](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zoologist-rabbit.md) - [Limited Rabbit-Themed Pop-Ups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/miffy-1.md) - [Painterly Chocolate Bunny Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/solid-chocolate-bunnies.md) - [Ancient Egypt Soda Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pepsi-egypt.md) - [Literature-Inspired Packaging Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/good-to-read.md) - [Whimsical Harlequin-Patterned Décor Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alices-adventures-collection.md)
