This is the most important of my books, and the one by which I most hope to be remembered! Amelia B Edwards, 1877. A chance visit to Egypt in 1873 by Amelia B. Edwards changed the future of British Egyptology forever. Her travelogue, A Thousand Miles Up the Nile, would inspire generations after her to take up her message to support and promote Egyptian cultural heritage. While the way this is done has changed a lot, her legacy remains strong in the institutions she founded. This reprint unites previously unseen archival material with Amelia's famous text to bring her journey back to life. A new introduction reflecting on Amelias life and its legacy in Egyptology today provides much-needed context to the narrative - an essential companion to her text! The work is complimented by colour images of Edwardss artwork, which have only previously been reproduced as black and white engravings. The new Introduction is by Carl Graves, Director of the Egypt Exploration Society, and Anna Garnett, Curator of the Petrie Museum of Egyptian and Sudanese Archaeology at UCL. "Finally, a chance to meet the real Amelia B. Edwards. A must buy for the introduction and cover alone!" Heba Abd El Gawad, Egyptologist
