I love this book!

Amelia Edwards is a marvellous writer who gives us detailed descriptions of her travels which have a photographic intensity of realism. I'll not soon forget her wonderful kaleidoscopic descriptions of the streets of Cairo. One feels actually present.

These Victorians knew how to write!
