Amelia
Peabody's Egypt: A Compendium
by Kristen Whitbread
Fans of Peters's bestselling series featuring Amelia Peabody Emerson
and her family (Crocodile on the Sandbank, etc.) will welcome this companion
volume, which entertainingly blurs fact and fiction. In her role as "editor"
of Mrs. Emerson's journals, Peters provides a preface, while other contributors
supply articles on the historical and cultural background of Egyptology.
(Typical is "`Lesser Breeds without the Law': An Insightful Diatribe on
the Victorian Attitude Towards Other Cultures & Peoples," by Barbara
Mertz, the real name of the pseudonymous Peters, who has a Ph.D. in the
subject.) One section, "The People of the Journals," straightfacedly presents
period photographs of the members of the extended Emerson clan. Filled
with black-and-white illustrations of people and places (credit for the
design goes to Egyptophile Dennis Forbes), this attractive book both informs
and enchants. The jacket art of three Victorian ladies inspecting a temple
fits the tone of the text perfectly.
