As enthralling as any work of fiction, A Thousand Miles up the Nile
is the quintessential Victorian travel book. In 1873, Amelia B.
Edwards, an upper-class Victorian spinster, 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. Fans
of Elizabeth Peters Amelia Peabody Emerson 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 the readers understanding and enjoyment
of Peters novels. This Norton Creek Press edition of A Thousand
Miles up the Nile is a reproduction of the illustrated 1890 edition
by Routledge and Sons. Look for more of Edwards works from Norton
Creek Press. Amelia B. Edwards was an author and co-founder of the
Egypt Exploration Fund.
