By Annie
Format:Hardcover
As a reader of anything to do with ancient times,especially Egypt, I really relished this book by Joyce Tyldesley who always manages to bring her subjects to life. With this book she has proved just how much has been,(and will continue),to be discovered from the grave and tomb artifacts. Armed with her knowwledge of King Tuankhamen through the eyes of an ancient world I found myself lost in a book which showed me the 'how' and why's' of his life and what went on in his short reign. It was an informative read and a book which I will undoubtedly bring off the shelf to read again.
