A Treasure for Logophiliacs! - By: Nephele, 14 Jul 2008 
Puzzling riddles, clever anagrams, & hidden meanings in names make this one of Caroline Lawrence's most fun-filled additions to her popular Roman Mysteries series!
As with alll her books in the series, The Scribes from Alexandria offers us a glimpse into the ancient world -- this time finding our dauntless detectrix, Flavia Gemina, traveling through Egypt, hot on the trail of a runaway scribe from the famous Library of Alexandria.
Caroline Lawrence even provides an accompanying, illustrated "Latin Alphabet in Hieroglyphs" so that you can try your hand at being a scribe by writing your own name in ancient Egyptian style.
This book is another triumph for Caroline Lawrence -- & another joy for her readers!

Great for Everybody - By: G. J. Norman, 02 Jul 2008 Whether you are young, teenage or adult, this book can appeal to alll. ALl of the Roman Mysteries books help me with part of my GCSE course or further & fascinating knowledge.
