The Cat of Bubastes—A Tale of Ancient Egypt
Many homeschool families use G.A. Henty’s historical fiction books as part of their history instruction. Henty’s books are said to be very historically accurate, and they are written from a Christian worldview. The books are very well written and contain a rich, varied vocabulary as well as examples of high moral principles such as honesty, selflessness, and loyalty. Although The Cat of Bubastes: A Tale of Ancient Egypt is challenging reading, it is a fantastic, exciting story brimming with historical facts about Ancient Egypt. I heartily agree with reviewer Principled American: “If you’re looking to provide historically rich literature for your home, the Henty series is an excellent option. Besides the obvious enjoyment of reading a book based on historical facts, these stories are an easy way to increase the reader’s patience and attention span. Additionally, immersing oneself in skillful writing is a simple method of promoting good grammar.”
