Just been told - via Twitter - that a statute of the English nurse, writer and statistician Florence Nightingale
- know as 'The Lady with the Lamp' - has been found in a hospital in Tahta, near Sohag, Egypt. In 1849, she took a trip up the Nile and visited Luxor and Cairo. That's all I really know about her. Does anybody know anything else about her travels? Please comment below.
Has anybody read A Winter on the Nile
: Florence Nightingale, Gustave Flaubert and the Temptations of Egypt, by Anthony Sattin
?
