Dugald Steer, illustrated by
Helen Ward, Nick Harris
and Ian Andrew

With nearly a million copies sold worldwide, this fascinating (and fictional) guide to Ancient Egypt is told through the journal of Emily Sands who, in 1926, led an expedition up the Nile to find the lost body of Osiris.

Winner of the Design and Production Award in the British Book Awards 2005 (aka The Nibbies).

Shortlisted for the Key Stage 2 Non-Fiction Category in the English 4-11 Best Children's Illustrated Books Awards for 2004.

"It's great to find a history book for the Christmas market more serious and demanding than school. This has all the adventure and fun, and educates too. The plucky female narrator writing up her exploration of the pyramids should impress girl readers, as much as the detail will fascinate boys."
