Cleopatra VII
Daughter of the Nile

Established "Dear America" author Kristiana Gregory kicks off "The Royal Diaries" with the captivating story of a young Cleopatra's life. While her father is in hiding after attempts on his life, twelve-year-old Cleopatra records in her diary how she fears for her own safety and hopes to survive to become Queen of Egypt some day. "Josephine Bailey's elegant narrative is a pleasure to hear. Whether she describes swimming in the turquoise sea or eating fried dormouse, her cool, musical delivery pulls in the listener." ---Audiofile
