Title: This book sparked a lifetime of passion about Egyptology
Review: When I look back, this was the book I remember poring over most as an 11 year old in my local library. The illustrations, the explanations, as well as a whole chapter on mummies, this book really has it all. While not pedantic and too scholarly, it is a great book for young readers, and comprehensively covers Ancient Egypt from the point of view of a novice. I remember making assiduous notes to remember tidbits of information (such as the origin of the double crown), and to this day I look back fondly on the many hours spent with this book. It has led to a lifetime of deeper study and passion about Egyptology.Now with children of my own, I was just delighted to find it on sale here and procured a copy as quickly as I could, so that they possibly could be as inspired by this book as I once was. And hey, I can relive some of my nostalgia too.
