Editorial Reviews

For young Egyptologists with a poetic bent, Voices of Ancient Egypt, by Kay Winters, is a lovely collection of 13 poems purportedly written by workers in the lost world of the pharaohs, from pyramid builder and bird-netter to goldsmith and dancer ("I am a dancer. My job is joy"). —Elizabeth Ward
