Cover Story
The illustration on the cover of this issue of Books for Keeps shows the arrival of King Sahure's funeral procession at the pyramid at Abusir around 2473 BC. Reconstructed from archaeological evidence, this illustration by David Salariya and Shirley Willis is taken from Ancient Egypt by Rosalie and Antony E. David, published by Kingfisher in the History as Evidence series (0 86272 091 5, £3.95). We are grateful to Kingfisher for help in using this illustration. (See Information Please, pages 20-21)

A young thief, something of an anti-hero, escapes dungeons via sewers and becomes instrumental in this fantasy-medieval-romance story of cursed lovers. Navarre is doomed to be a wolf by night, Isabeau a hawk by day. Can the evil Bishop's curse ever be broken? I was carried along by the atmosphere but only mildly concerned for the characters and their outcome.
