Howard and the mummy : Howard Carter and the search for King Tut's tomb / Tracey Fern ; pictures by Boris Kulikov.

Fern, Tracey, (author.). Kulikov, Boris, 1966- (illustrator.).

Summary:

Howard Carter was obsessed with mummies. He met his first when he was a boy in England and lived near a mansion filled with Egyptian artifacts. Howard dreamed of discovering a mummy himself-especially a royal mummy in its tomb, complete with all its treasures. When he was seventeen, he took a job with the Egypt Exploration Fund and was sent to Egypt to learn about archaeology and excavation sites. And his mummy hunt was on! Howard discovered many amazing artifacts, but he searched for years before coming upon the most famous mummy of all, King Tut.
