Amelia Edwards was born in London in 1831, the daughter of an army officer. This book describes a 1000 mile journey up the Nile she undertook in 1873. Although the trip was initially undertaken to escape the rain in Europe, Edwards was no vacuous tourist; her lively account of Ancient Egypt’s great antiquities made this book a bestseller of its day.
