The Rash Adventurer by Imogen Grundon

Saturday, October 27th, 2007

I haven’t read this! I’ve just run across an intriguing review and added it to my list. (How will I wait a whole year for the paperback??)

How could I never have heard of John Pendlebury? He sounds magnificent. And he was in charge of excavations at Tell el-Amarna (Akhenaten’s city!).
