Ancient Egypt

by Don Nardo

Book Overview

In most ways, ancient Egyptian society and everyday life was significantly different than in modern Western counties. This information-packed but easy-to-read volume explores the privileged lives of the pharaohs and other noble Egyptians; how poor peasants worked both in the fields and on state building projects; sports and leisure activities of all classes; and religious attitudes and practices.

fine work

My daughter was studying about ancient Egypt at school and we found this book at our local library. It is very nicely done, with lots of information for grade schoolers, as well as attractive illustrations. I have to admit that I got almost as much out of the book as my daughter did.
