From the bestselling author of Horrible Histories, named 'the outstanding children's non-fiction author of the 20th century' by Books For Keeps____________________Tutankhamen has been buried in his rocky tomb.

But there is a plot to rob the grave of its vast wealth as soon as possible after the funeral.

A motley gang of villains have all the skills they need to undertake the crime - the key member of the team is young Paneb, who is small and lithe and the only one who can slip through the tunnel and into the funeral chamber.

It's a risky venture, because, if he's caught, the punishment is slow torture and death. Terry Deary’s Egyptian Tales explore the world of Ancient Egypt through the eyes of children who could have lived at the time.

These stories feature real people and take place in some of the most recognisable Egyptian settings.

This new edition features notes for the reader to help extend learning and exploration of the historical period. ____________________‘Bubbling with wit, language play and robust dialogue....just the right mix of ingredients to trigger young readers' interest in all things historical.’ Books For Keeps
