Customer Reviews

Egyptology at its best!

I saw a review of this author's series of books by an Egyptology professor which said that they were highly informative and full of accurate information, so I bought them and found that I agreed. There are lots of quotes from the ancient Egyptians themselves which give a real flavor of the times, and the life stories of each pharaoh are described in an exiting and easy to follow way. A really good read for both me and my 13 year old son!
