The Pharaohs of Ancient Egypt by Elizabeth Payne

adventurous informative fast-paced

4.25

This book is that perfect combination of historical details and fun stories. Much of the history is told in narrative, from Napoleon's men discovering the Rosetta Stone to Akhenaton's rise and fall from power in worshiping only the sun god. I would have enjoyed this book as much at ten years old as I did in my late twenties. This is a really fun book and, if you are a fan of Ancient Egypt, it's a nice, light read.
