Howard Carter had spent five long years in the hot, dry desert, searching for the tomb of the Ancient Egyptian boy king Tutankhamun. But what he found when he ventured deeper and deeper into the tomb was gold and treasure beyond his wildest dreams.

Usborne Young Reading has been developed in consultation with Alison Kelly, Senior Lecturer at Roehampton University. Series One is for readers who have just stated reading alone.
