Read this as a child -- it was one of my favs and began a lifelong love of Egyptian history

This is probably my favorite book of all time. Every year I was in junior high school I had this book out of the library on multiple withdrawals. This was the book that made Egypt come alive for me. Reading it almost made me feel like I had been there. It also led me to read many other historical books of the same sort such as the ones by Mika Waltari - The Egyptian, The Eutruscan, The Roman, etc. I would love to find a copy of this book, Alas, they are difficult to come by, but I will keep looking.
