London: Century Publishing, 1982. Soft cover. Very Good. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. When a trip into the middle of Africa is still something of an adventure, it is astonishing to think that over a century ago a lady of solid Victorian upbringing decided ... to embark on an extraordinary journey 1,000 miles up the Nile -- in a wooden dahabeeyah. Amelia Edwards embarked on this voyage full of unrestrained enthusiasm for Egypt and a compulsive interest in all its archaeological treasures. The Egypt she saw was little changed since Pharonic times; the people living lives regulated by the seasons, unaltered for thousands of years, the pyramids and temples unrestored and for the most part unexplored.
