AbstractHistoryArchive Description

' Far away in Upper Egypt, in a place known as the Valley of the Kings, that well-known archaeologist and little-known poet, Cairo Jim (assisted by Doris the macaw and Brenda the Wonder Camel) is searching for the lost tomb of Pharaoh Martenarten, Worshipper of the Moon and King of Ancient Egypt. But somebody of great deviousness, treachery and manicured evil wants what they are after. And he will stop at nothing to claim it for his own.' (Libraries Australia record).
