Red Land, Black Land: Daily Life in Ancient Egypt is a really nice “history” of ancient Egypt, with more emphasis on the lives of the common people than you sometimes get in books like this. It’s by Barbara Mertz, who is perhaps better known (outside of her academic field) as Elizabeth Peters, the author of
