A brilliant work of biblical fiction by Dorothy Clarke Wilson, Moses, The Prince of Egypt was immediately embraced by the public when first published in 1949 (as Prince of Egypt). The novel became an inspiration for the 1956 film, The Ten Commandments -- now a classic in its own right. It is a wonderfully entertaining and well-researched story of Moses from his teenage years through early manhood when he rejects his royal lifestyle upon learning of his Hebrew birth and becomes a shepherd among his own people. After centuries of slavery and bondage, with God’s help, Moses eventually leads the Jewish people to freedom. Moses, the Prince of Egypt became a favorite of reader’s, selling more than 500,000 copies worldwide and has truly achieved the status of a modern classic.
