| Amelia Edwards - Born in London to an Irish mother and a father who had been a British Army officer, Edwards published a variety of poetry, stories and articles in a large number of magazines and newspapers.
Her early novels were well received, but it was Barbara's History(1864), a novel of bigamy, that solidly established her reputation as a novelist. In the winter of 1873-1874 Edwards toured Egypt, discovering a fascination with the land and its cultures.
Having returned home, Edwards proceeded to write a vivid description of her Nile voyage, publishing the resulting book in 1876 under the title of A Thousand Miles up the Nile. Enhanced with her own hand-drawn illustrations, the travelogue became an immediate bestseller.
