About This Item

A "Lost Race" adventure classic about ancient Egyptians in the Libyan Desert, praised by genre expert Everett Bleiler as "Literate, as is always the case with Baroness Orczy's work, and intriguing for its strange psychology of personality." A Very Good hardcover bound in red cloth, pictorially decorated and lettered in black. Spine a little faded and spine folds slightly rubbed, but otherwise a sound, tight copy. Interestingly, on the front endpaper is written in pencil: "Garland Club at 6 o'clock"!.
Synopsis
