Sinuhe the Egyptian - first UK edition

by Mika Waltari

First UK edition of Waltari's classic novel of ancient Egypt. made into a movie in 1955 starring Victor Mature as Sinhue.  This is a great story about an abandoned boy who is adopted and becomes a physician in ancient Egypt.

Page edges are foxed, and the dust wrapper is dirty; spine sunned, chipped at top. Very difficult to find in the first edition.  This is collectible.
