Terry Deary's Egyptian Tales

Four exciting, funny ancient Egyptian stories about children who could have lived at the time.

In 'The Plot on the Pyramid', the workers building the Great Pyramid are blamed when their supervisor disappears. Only Dafia knows the truth ...

'The Magic and the Mummy' features Neria, who helps her father make mummies. But when she is asked to mummify the Pharaoh's cat, she is too squeamish to kill it ...

'The Phantom and the Fisherman' sees apprentice scribe Menes agreeing to write a prayer to rid Maiarch of his family ghost. But what if the ghost is more human than supernatural?

And in 'The Gold in the Grave', young Paneb finds himself involved in a plot to rob Tutankhamun's tomb.

Ideal for readers interested in childrens fiction.
