In "The Last Egyptian," the marvels of "The Arabian Nights" are reproduced. The story has its scene laid in modern Egypt, the Egypt of pyramids and trolley cars, of caravans and railways, of desert darkness and electric lights, of barbaric crudeness and porcelain bathtubs. The story rings true. It gets right down to business at the start, and every chapter bristles with exciting situations, intrigue, character study, love complications, fighting, treasure-hunting, and all the other elements which go to make a readable story.
