I thought it was about time I got on with maps for Scenes from a Life, so here are a couple…

Full regional map – Waset to Kephrath

The area around Waset

Of course these are provisional at this stage, so expect some changes here and there, but it’s a start. Waset is nowadays known as Luxor, so you can have some fun matching places onto Google maps or something similar!

Also a short review of a short book – Robyn Hode (I) by David Pilling. David is slowly working through a series of short, fairly self-contained episodes about Robyn. Robyn is actually called Robert Hode in the books, but I suppose nobody would get the reference if he used that name on the cover! David has done a good deal of background research into the historical figure behind the Robin Hood tales, and this series is his attempt to map out a possible history. I enjoyed it, but found the shortness a bit frustrating so gave it four stars. The review is on Amazon.co.uk.
