Rider Haggard wrote fantasies about Ancient Egypt that depicted, for child readers, a particular set of views about race, religion, and nation. These views were not the then-popular views of Sir William Flinders Petrie, but the more liberal views of E. A. Wallis Budge. Through fantasy, Nesbit and Haggard were able to break from traditional views and
