A classic story brought to life through Jim Weiss's thrilling, thoughtfully and gently abridged narration. In The Cat of Bubastes, G. A. Henty gives his listeners a fascinating picture of one of the greatest of the ancient peoples at the height of their civilization. Chebron, son of the Egyptian high priest Ameres, and Amuba, a Rebu slave in Ameres' household, are companions. Their lives are changed irrevocably when Chebron accidentally kills his sister's cat, an animal sacred to the Egyptians -- an offence punishable by death. When Chebron's father is killed by an angry mob, the boys and their companions decide to make the long and dangerous journey to the land of Rebus, where they will be out of reach of their enemies. Set in Ancient Egypt, circa 1350 B.C.

We love audiobooks narrated by Jim Weiss and The Cat of Bubastes was on the assigned reading for High School Ancient History. This story is good but lacks a lot of information that was relevant to the study we were doing for Ancient History.

Wish I’d realized this was abridged before buying/listening.
