Cat of Bubastes: A Tale of Ancient Egypt (Hardcover) (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781387829033)

Cat of Bubastes tells of a young prince taken into slavery after Ancient Egypt conquers his homeland - joining with a loyal friend, the pair uncover murderous revelations. The entire book takes place at the height of the Egyptian civilisation, in around 1250 BC. We follow Amuba, a young prince whose father is dramatically killed in battle. Taken prisoner by the opposing force, Amuba is carried back to the Egyptian kingdom alongside his friend and charioteer Jethro. When the pair arrive, they are fortunate enough to be assigned as servants to Amuba, a highly ranked priest. However all is not as it would seem within the priestly household: it is up to Amuba and Jethro to investigate a frightening conspiracy which has the potential to upset the delicate balance of power in Egypt. The author G. A. Henty was a British war correspondent, and had travelled and studied North Africa during his career, as well as much of Europe. It was tours of foreign lands which helped spur his authoring.
