Margaret Drower is formerly Reader in Ancient History at University College London, and Honorary Research Fellow in the Departments of History and Egyptology at University College London. As a young student of Egyptology in the 1930s she is also one of the last people alive to have been taught by Petrie himself at University College London. She is the author of the definitive biography of Flinders Petrie (2nd ed, University of Wisconsin Press 1995).
...Letter from the Desert is both a fun and an enlightening book.[...]Margaret Drowers work provides a true and enjoyable description of a world that most know only through fictional accounts. This is a worthy addition to nonfiction and fiction treatments of both Egyptology and archaeology.'
