Fab books on the Egyptians/Victorians???

[MrsHeffley]

For ds 7/8

[Tenebrist]

The Horrible Histories series goes down well in this household (there's one called Villainous Victorians but I can't remember the Egyptians title). Obviously, it's not to be taken over-seriously, but my DC have retained a remarkable number of factoids from those books.

[TantePiste]

Elizabeth Phillips' Amelia Peabody series - victorian archeologists in egypt - fiction with humor/romance/suspense.

[madamehooch]

'The Egyptian Chronicles' by Gill Harvey is an excellent series - a sort of Roman mysteries but for slightly younger readers. The first book is 'The Spitting Cobra'.

[newtermnewname]

"History Spies" by Jo Foster.


Highly recommended.

There are some Usbourne lift the flap type books on these subjects - DS1 has a few in the series. Bought on internet more cheaply than shop.
