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.
