"Publisher's note: According to the editors ... when the publisher received the manuscript of Egyptology : search for the tomb of Osiris from Joanna Sutherland in 2004, it was thought that no further works by Miss Emily Sands, who went missing on an expedition up the Nile in 1927, would be forthcoming. But it now appears that one of the detectives hired by Lady Farncombe to investigate the Sands disappearance may actually have uncovered another book, which Emily had been preparing for her niece and nephew. However, since the publisher still cannot say for certain that a Miss Sands ever existed, readers must decide for themselves whether the story is true or simply an elaborate concoction"--P. [3]. "Miss Emily Sands invites you to discover the treasures of ancient Egypt."

"The story of Emily Sands's ill-fated expedition to find the lost tomb of Osiris was told in her journal, Egyptology. Now a new book, written by Miss Sands for her niece and nephew, has been discovered. Here, in this illustrated course book, Sands offers thirty lessons exploring the history and culture of ancient Egypt that are sure to make you an undeniable expert in Egyptology!"--P. [4] of cover.
