As enthralling as any work of fiction, A Thousand Miles up the Nile is the quintessential Victorian travel book.<\/p>\n
In 1873, Amelia B. Edwards, a Victorian gentlewoman, spent the winter visiting the then largely unspoiled splendors of ancient Egypt. An accurate and sympathetic observer, she brings nineteenth-century Egypt to life. A Thousand Miles up the Nile was an instant hit in 1876, and is received with equal enthusiasm by modern readers.<\/p>\n
Fans of Elizabeth Peters\u2019 Amelia Peabody Emerson mystery series will see similarities between the two Amelias. More importantly, A Thousand Miles up the Nile provides a wealth of background information and detail that will increase your understanding and enjoyment of Peters\u2019 novels.<\/p>\n
This Norton Creek Press edition of A Thousand Miles up the Nile is an exact reproduction of the lavishly illustrated 1890 edition by Routledge and Sons.<\/p>\n
Amelia B. Edwards was an author and co-founder of the Egypt Exploration Fund.<\/p>\n
