     Derived from authentic papyri, these captivating stories were collected a century ago by a leading Egyptologist. Tales of everyday magic and uncommon adventure include "The King of Joppa," recounting the capture of an enemy fortress by soldiers smuggled inside the walls; an ill-fated hero’s pursuit of a fair princess in "The Doomed Prince"; a man’s quest for supernatural powers in "Setna and the Magic Book"; and many others. The distinguished editor offers commentary on the stories’ historical significance, and 57 evocative drawings appear throughout the text.
