(3) 4-6 Illustrated by M. P. Robertson. Cleopatra comes to life through fictional journal entries written by her young handmaid. The pages also include brief captionlike facts and cartoon-style illustrations that feature Cleopatra's personality and romantic relationships with Rome's leaders. An eighteen-page nonfiction section follows, providing a straightforward overview of life in ancient Egypt. Despite the gimmick, this two-pronged approach works. Timeline. Glos., ind.
