| Description: | Christopher (Kit) Ross, our narrator, is a cog in the Indian Civil Service. He has quarrelled with his girl-friend, Joan Boston, and now finds himself wishing to escape society. His friend, Soames, proposes an expedition into the north of India and to Tibet. The two of them have recently heard of a hidden kingdom that contains something described as “The Glory of Egypt.” Fame, and for Soames, fortune await. ... The Glory of Egypt is a great jewel, held by the ruling family of a hidden civilization. Three thousand years ago this family was ousted from power in Egypt. The deposed ruler and his followers fled the country and eventually settled in a hidden valley in Tibet. ... The expedition does manage to penetrate into the hidden valley and encounters a temple on the outskirts. They also encounter the temple guardians, the Things that run in the night.—Wollamshram’s Blog [Suggest a different description.] |

Author Bio for Moresby, Elizabeth Louisa
Elizabeth Louisa Moresby (1862-1931) was a Canadian novelist. She was born in England. Her father was admiral in the navy who helped explore the Australasian archipelago. During the first part of her life she lived and travelled in the Orient in such places as India, China, Burma, and Japan. She eventually settled in Victoria, B.C. where she became known as a proponent of Oriental customs and philosophy. Her experiences in Asia influenced her writing when she began to write books at the age of 60. Women authors of her time were known to write under pen-names and she produced about 30 books under such names as Lily Adams Beck, E. Barrington and Louis Moresby.
