A fascinating and thorough account of the Egyptian process of mummification and efforts to safeguard places of burial against thieves. Text and photographs examine the mummies and tombs of ancient Egypt. Erika Weihs (nee Fischl) was born November 4, 1917 in Vienna, Austria. She attended Graphische Lehr und Versuchsanstalt in Vienna, from 1934 to 1937. After the Nazi takeover of Austria in 1938, she moved to England, from whence she emigrated to the United States in 1940. Aside from a few years in Canada, Weihs has lived in the U.S. since 1940, mostly in New York City. In 1942, she married Kurt Weihs, an artist and illustrator, with whom she's had two children. Since 1942, Weihs has been a free-lance painter and illustrator, with numerous one-woman and group exhibitions in New York and the surrounding area. She primarily illustrates books written by other authors. Frequently, these books deal with Jewish religion and culture. She describes her style as "flat, two dimensional," and claims that her influences include Kathe Kollwitz, Ben Shahn and Egyptian Art.Lila Perl Yerkow was born in Brooklyn, New York, and had a very ordinary and uneventful (as it seemed to her) childhood. She read voraciously, but it never occurred to her that she would one day become a writer. She didn't begin to publish juvenile fiction and nonfiction until her own children were in the fourth or fifth grades at school. She was stimulated by their expanding interests and by the realization that she had a great need to explore the long-silent world of her own childhood.
