| Publisher Description: Toby is forced to stay with his Aunt Emm over the school holidays and can't think of anything more boring. Why would he want to waste his summer with an eccentric old witch? Aunt Emm has her own reasons for wanting Toby to stay with her. In her possession are two artefacts dating back thousands of years to Ancient Egypt, and together they hold great power. She needs someone young, brave and most of all, someone who believes in magic to help her return them to their rightful place... |
Contributor Bio(s): Stout, P. M.: - PM Stout began making up children's stories when she became a mother. Having retired to Cyprus, her grandchildren would visit for the summer holidays each year. The inspiration for this story came from those grandchildren and a holiday they took along the Nile in Egypt. The magic language in the book was a secret language that Stout used with her friends at school to pass messages the teachers couldn't read. Toby's initial impression of Aunt Emm is based on her childhood memories of a visit to her own elderly aunt when she was a young girl. 'To Free a Pharaoh' is her debut children's novel. |
