A joyous meander through ancient Egypt with cosy and clear narration There is a place for more academic tomes on the subject of course, but if you want to listen to a passionate and very well informed generalist who isn't afraid of imagination and conjecture tempered with reality, then this is the right book to help you enjoy the many facets of how life could have been those many thousands of years ago The narrator reads with comfortable ease. Highly recommended
