John Bickers, Dagny and David Widger "Smith and the Pharaohs, and other Tales" by H. Rider Haggard is a collection of short stories written in the late 19th century. The first tale, "Smith and the Pharaohs," introduces the character James Ebenezer Smith, a shy and reserved young man who becomes captivated by ancient Egyptian artifacts and the mystery surrounding them, leading him on an adventure in pursuit of knowledge and perhaps love. The opening of the book provides a glimpse into Smith’s life, detailing his struggles and gradual success as a would-be Egyptologist. Following his attraction to a sculpted head of a long-deceased Egyptian queen, Smith's curiosity propels him into the British Museum, where he embarks on a journey to discover more about the enigmatic figure and her story. As the narrative unfolds, he pursues his passion for Egyptology, eventually finding himself excavating in Egypt, discovering a long-lost tomb, and encountering the supernatural elements of Egyptian mythology and history. Smith's tale intertwines themes of ambition, the past's allure, and the interplay between life and death. (This is an automatically generated summary.) Reading ease score: 77.3 (7th grade).
