Egyptology review
Egyptology is simply brilliant.Like the rest of the templar family Egyptology is both practical and pretty with charts of international distances mingling with beautifully drawn illustrations,with a playable senet game and intricate models this Emily Sands book is also a practical introducion to egyptology.This cleverly written book should be treasured and adored because in literature there are very few equals.Please buy this book and if you like then there is a world of excellent templar books out there.Thanks for reading from Master George David Bell.

A museum in your hands!
I wasn't even aware that this book was supposed to be for children when I first saw it in the shops. Having seen me admire it, my girlfriend bought it for me last Christmas.

I adore it. I've never seen a book so lovingly put together and beautifully illustrated. Despite being short, a lot of work clearly went into this work. Reading it is like walking through a museum full of ancient Egyptian artifacts and treasures. An absolute must for anybody with an interest in ancient Egypt or novelty books.

this is a really lovely journal, based on a diary, full of interesting items/facts,beautiful drawings etc and very well presented, the cover is stunning,this would be of interest to all ages,(I am in my 50's but absolutely love it) and I know my 8 year old grand-daughter will too.This would make an absolutely brilliant present,not only for the content but the stunning pictures and little "extras" included.
