This is a problem because, this book is in the perspective of an Egyptian princess and you would think that writing about one of the most largest historical figures of Egypt that is famous in western culture would give children a little bit of knowledge on the culture of Ancient Egypt and why its history is so interesting.

I enjoyed the book - great illustrations - especially the funny bits with the rats and guards, etc. A lot of detail about Cleopatra that I did not know - told in an interesting way for kids
But Antony was meeting a very evolved Cleopatra. Caesar “had known her when she was still a girl and inexperienced in affairs,” the Greek writer and philosopher Plutarch wrote, “but she was going to visit Antony at the very time when women have the most brilliant beauty and are at the acme of intellectual power.”
- she cares a great deal about Jewish mythological figures such as "queen Esther", "Queen of Sheba", or "King Solomon", when again why would an Egyptian princess know, or care, about the mythology of a people who had pelo importance in her eyes?
Good grief, I generally enjoy the Royal Diaries, but this one is just awful. I've read it twice now, thinking that perhaps the first time I was just being unfair, but I couldn't finish slogging through it the second time.
She’s going to be not just an amazing queen, but the greatest queen who ever goddamn walked this planet. Granted, this version of Cleopatra was right. But there’s only so much preteen bragging I can take before it gives me a headache.
Omg. I've spent years trying to remember the title of this so I could track down a copy. Remember reading this when I was in Middle school(?
I’d picked it up because I’m already such a big fan of the Dear America books, and when I realized exactly what this series was - diaries of young versions of female royalty throughout the world and throughout history - it highly intrigued me and I decided to give it a shot.
Two is that Cleopatra herself isn't interesting. This is a problem considering her history and what she's done throughout her life. What's interesting is her legacy and what she has done in order to not only take the throne but keep it to herself as long as possible. I'm not a historian and history is one of my worst subjects, probably the worst, but I know enough of Cleopatra VII to get an idea of what kind of a person she was.
Wouldn't it be so much more interesting to see Cleopatra slowly give up her nice Disney-princess traits to become a strong and intelligent leader who will do whatever it takes to assure her survival? Even if it means developing intimate ties with 'barbarians' as she calls it.
This oversized book was a study of Egyptian life in the first century B.C., a biography of Cleopatra, and a story about a young handmaiden, Nefret. The details of life then were fascinating. I must admit, I was surprised to see how graphic a few of the illustrations were; for example, the murdered Julius Caesar lies bloody while a senator knees nearby and throws up; a woman throws a slop jar that is clearly click here filled with pee and turds out of a window (did they really do that in Egypt??).
Author Margaret George read about Cleopatra as a young girl, and had always had an interest in the classics. George related to the historical figure because they were both dark-haired, in an era when most images of beauty seemed to be blonde. She spent two and a half years writing The Memoirs of Cleopatra,[1] traveling to Egypt four times to research it.[2] Referring to the many incorrect presentations of the legendary queen, George considers her novel to be "the most historically accurate version within the limits of the medium".
I appreciate that the author did put all that in and didn’t try to sugarcoat anything to her young audience. Kids understand and comprehend a lot more than I think some authors give them credit for. But my God, how could I have not noticed this when I was younger?!!
