Cat Of Bubastes

British author G.A. Henty wrote The Cat of Bubastes A Story of Ancient Egypt. It tells the tale of a young prince who is captured by the Egyptians and sold into slavery only to be forced into exile when his owner inadvertently kills a sacred cat. Chebron a high priest's son in ancient Egypt flees for his life with his sister Mysa Amuba a slave from the household and a group of friends. They manage to escape through heavily guarded Egyptian exits only to land in strange and perilous places where a whole other culture of people live. Along the way the exiles meet and become friends with a Jewish girl who teaches them some rather weird ideas such as worshiping the one true God. This in-depth exploration of ancient Egyptian history customs and religion provides an engaging and accurate insight of the people.
