Illustrated by
Joseph Daniel Fiedler.
Author and illustrator have re-created, from carefully researched (if limited) evidence, the life and times of Egypt's only female pharaoh. In accenting the extraordinary achievement of Hatshepsut, Andronik handles speculation well, often prefacing her comments with a conditional perhaps. Archaeologists continue to piece together Hatshepsut's story, and Andronik makes their story no less intriguing. Bib.
