RICHARD PLATT has written more than forty nonfiction books for
children. Ever since he first saw the leathery face of a mummy in
the British museum, ancient Egypt has fascinated him. EGYPTIAN
DIARY: THE JOURNAL OF NAKHT is his third book in the colorful
series that includes CASTLE DIARY and the Kate Greenaway Medal
winner PIRATE DIARY (both illustrated by Chris Riddell). Richard
Platt lives in Kent, England.
DAVID PARKINS has illustrated numerous books for children,
including WEBSTER J. DUCK, written by Martin Waddell. About
EGYPTIAN DIARY, he says, "It can be difficult to make the leap of
imagination from the highly stylized Egyptian paintings we see in
museums to what daily life was really like. My job was to take
these characters and make them believable, to give them expression
and personality, and to bring their world to life." David Parkins
lives in Lincoln, England.
