内容简介 This illustrated biography series combines non-fiction and fiction to introduce readers to famous historical characters. Each book begins with a diary, told from the point of view of a child who works for the famous person. At the end of each book, there is an illustrated reference chapter. At ten years old, Nefret becomes a handmaiden to Cleopatra, the last queen of Egypt. Nefret's diary gives a unique insight to the life of this most famous and powerful ruler; her brains and her beauty, music and merrymaking, her love for two great men, Julius Caesar and Mark Antony, and her determination to rule Egypt well.

Dinah Hall, Children's Book Reviewer, Sunday Telegraph
"No child could fail to be enchanted by Adèle Geras's Cleopatra, brought so vividly, yet accessibly, to life. Historical detail is effortlessly conveyed through the story format..."
