Along the way, they encounter a colorful cast of characters, including the pharaoh himself, and must navigate the dangerous waters of ancient Egyptian society.

Hitherto silence had reigned under the boughs of the pines and tops of the beeches, but now a wood-pigeon joined in the lad's laugh, and a jay, startled by the clapping of hands, spread its brown wings, delicately flecked with blue, and soared from one pine to another.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
