Mary Whately’s letters offer a fascinating insight into life in Egypt in 1879, and will prove to be an invaluable addition to the bookshelf of anyone with an interest in the people, customs, culture and climate of Egypt in this period. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
