I am not sure which boy Pharaoh the boy Pharaoh in this book might be.
The text seems to refer to him by his titles, and his sister-wife's
name, Mery-ti, is a common one. An ancient Egyptian might argue it
doesn't matter which Pharaoh this one is. They're all gods among men,
not people you want to annoy by denying them even their most
trivial desires.

When all else fails, King Tut's typically the "go to" boy king Pharoah.
As is the case with many Great Men (Boys) of History, Tut's stature grew
faster and taller than a weed in his afterlife.

The happiest people in this book are the stupidest, because they accept
their positions in life without wondering if it's fair that they have
so much privilege.

Eccl 1:15,18b The perverse are hard to be corrected, and the number of
fools is infinite. ... in much wisdom there is much indignation: and he
that addeth knowledge addeth also labor.

Thank you,

"It is odd this book appears not to have sold well and to be
obscure today."

Heh. Same thing happened to _The Interior Life,_ possibly for
the same reasons. :)

But I'm going to get onto Amazon and get a copy.
