A guide to Ancient Egypt, told through the (fictional) journal of Emily Sands who, in 1926, led an expedition up the Nile to find the lost body of Osiris. This facsimile of the 'lost journal of Emily Sands' includes several additional items such as letters, a sample of mummy cloth, a booklet on hieroglyphs, a working Senet game and 4 postcards. Several flaps throughout the book reveal more facts about ancient Egypt and items associated with the fictitious expedition.
