Am I first to write a review on English for this book? I found it in my grandma鈥檚 library, the 1976 edition, translated into Lithuanian from Russian. That鈥檚 a second-gen translation - unfortunately not from original language, but that was common in Soviet era. Why there are none reviews in English? I presume it has never been translated into it鈥�? Anyway, I really enjoyed the book, it was easy to read and fun! The writing style is old school - you wouldn鈥檛 find such thing in nowadays literature. However, it鈥檚 not enough to be a classic book - more like the 鈥榦ld time modern鈥�. A cinderella story in the first half of 20th century in Egypt 馃枻
