Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Rachel and the Seven Wonders" by Netta Syrett is a children's adventure novel written in the early 20th century. The story follows a young girl named Rachel, who finds herself transported through time and space to visit extraordinary historical landmarks after she expresses her longing for her home in Egypt while visiting the British Museum in London. As Rachel navigates her new magical surroundings, she discovers the wonders of the ancient world and learns about history in a uniquely engaging way. The opening of the narrative introduces Rachel as a discontented girl who misses her family living in Egypt. Accompanied by her governess, Miss Moore, she reluctantly visits the British Museum, where she feels lost and bored. However, her life takes a fantastical turn when she encounters a mysterious old man who prompts her to bow before the Rosetta Stone. In a whirlwind of magic, Rachel is whisked away to ancient Egypt, where she meets Sheshà, a priest who reveals the magic number seven's significance and transports her to witness the construction of the Great Pyramid. This encounter sets the stage for her journey through the wonders of the world, promising excitement, learning, and adventure.
