	The Spirit of the Letter - What biographers find in other people's mail. By Megan Marshall
		The "fl art," as Mary Peabody referred to the skills required in correspondence, was practiced intensively by schoolgirls and young women, who frequently commented in their letters on both the form and substance of the mail they received as they worked to develop a mature style.
		When Elizabeth Peabody wrote of "my long-tongued pen," she was referring not only to the length of her letters, but to their reach—no letter, unless explicitly marked so, could be considered safe from the eyes of a recipient's friends, family members, or even random house guests.
		As I read the Peabody sisters' private letters and journals, collected in more than a dozen archives across the country, I was regularly struck by expressions of thought or feeling that seemed to me meant to be read by a later generation.

		In the ensuing years, Amelia and Emerson sired a son, dubbed "Ramses," and acquired a foster daughter, Nefret, who spent her formative years as an Egyptian priestess.
		In the end, the perpetrator of the crimes against Amelia and the murder victims is revealed, but by then I was more interested in a different human drama that was being played out at the same time.

	Barnes & Noble.com - Serpent on the Crown - Elizabeth Peters - Hardcover
		Though Amelia and Emerson are quick to dispute the validity of the curse, the artifact itself is both genuine and extraordinarily rare.
		Peabody and Emerson, her handsome, clever, duplicitous Egyptologist husband, are excavating at Deir el Medina along with their son Ramses, his wife Nefret and the usual supporting cast when well-known collector Pringle Petherick's widow Magda arrives and presents Emerson with a solid-gold figure of a king she claims is cursed.
		Peabody's Victorian rhetoric can go over the top, but her likable family's fans will find much to enjoy in an adventure less convoluted than usual (The Falcon at the Portal, 1999, etc.), salted with the obligatory tidbits of Egyptology.

		Amelia is still the hero with her characteristic feminism just as Emerson is the outstanding Egyptologist of this or any other age.
		Amelia's dream time with the dead reis Abdullah and the power of the stone in the serpent crown are well done.
		But it is Amelia's second outburst from her usual conservative and seemingly-staid mother-love that provide the exciting climax and the reason why.

		Peabody and Ramses are also the more scheming of the foursome and it is their plan that is enacted to play out the charade in which they say they are going one place, while really headed for another.
		Amelia's narrative is always boastful of her family and friends, and of course of her own insight.

	THE MYSTERY READER reviews: Lord of the Silent by Elizabeth Peters An Amelia Peabody mystery
		First and foremost, of course, is the irrepressible, outspoken and fearless Amelia Peabody, whose droll narration sets the perfect tone.
		Of her first encounter with the reality of war, Amelia has this to say: This was my first air raid and I hated it - not only the feeling of helplessness, but the remoteness of the business.
		Peabody has her usual spirited tiffs with her beloved Emerson, but there’s always a little time for some conjugal bliss when people aren’t trying to kill either or both of them.

	Book Reviews
		Amelia Peabody made her appearance thirty years ago, and she's still going strong. I decided to re-read the series as a special treat, and to refresh my memory of my favorite fictional character and her many adventures.
		Miss Amelia Peabody devoted her life to taking care of her father's household, taking care of the practical details to allow him to pursue his scholarly activities. She shared with him an interest in languages and ancient civilizations. When he died, her six brothers were not surprised that the old man left his estate to her.
		Fortunately for all involved, Amelia's path crossed that of Evelyn Barton-Forbes, a disgraced heiress who really needed a break. Amelia, knowing a good-hearted person when she saw one, plucked her from the gutter, fed and clothed her, and took her along to see the ancient wonders of Egypt.

		Over the years, archeologist and detective Amelia Peabody has grown from a sharp 32-year-old into an even sharper lady of advanced years (a lady never tells, of course) who has starred in 15 mystery novels.
		What made the books even more complicated was the fact that Amelia and the others, unlike most fictitious series characters, live in real time: That is, they age and change with each book.
		After a while she began to fudge her age, but my intelligent readers could not be deceived; they kept track, not only of Amelia's age, but also of the ages of all the other characters, and they take me to task when I make a mistake.

	SBPL Reference Dept (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		For although I have not seen any reference to a connection between that movie and Elizabeth Peters' books, the film's main characters invoke forcibly Amelia Peabody and Radcliffe Emerson, the dashing husband/wife duo in the Amelia Peabody mysteries written by Peters ("The Last Camel Died at Noon", reviewed August 15, 1999).
		The personalities, the adventures and the spousal relationship of the movie's characters are practically identical to those of archeologists Amelia Peabody and Professor Emerson of Peters' books, the similarities extending down to the precocious and fearless ten year-old son, both in movie and book.
		Peabody and Emerson, their son Ramses and their foster daughter Nefret would not allow the war to interfere with their great work of excavating at Giza to further unravel the mysteries of the lost Egyptian civilization.
