Translation of the Golden Book

by SoundzofSilence

This is the painstaking translation of the first Artemis Fowl book. The book with the golden cover and the gnommish encryption on the front, and the little gnommish hieroglyphics on the bottom of the pages. It involves two prophecies...see for yourself

1. Cover

Gnommish Book:

(On the cover): Carry me always, carry me well. I am thy teacher of herb and spell.

(The Artemis Fowl Files: the fairy Book)

When a fairy is trapped above ground without magic, it is best to avoid contact with humans. Hide in the shallows of a river as humans, especially children, don't like to wash themselves. Drape yourself with the skin of a sheep, or goat as humans are often not clever enough to notice. If you are cornered by a human, slap the ground with the flat of your hand as this will often frighten the mud men away. If this is unsuccessful, admit that you're a fairy!

AN: The alphabet for the gnommish language is contained in the Artemis Fowl Files book after the advice above. I don't own Artemis Fowl or the translations above; I'm just translating them for you curious readers. My next feat will be to translate the calligraphy on the bottom of the pages of the entire book.
