From Australia come two audio offerings featuring a wacky cast of characters headed by the famed archaeologist poet.

Read by the author, the stories pit Jim against his nemesis, the evil Neptune Bone, who also has a feathered sidekick, a nasty raven out to pluck the plumage from the colourful Doris. Jim's spunky bird gets even more recognition in Cairo Jim and Doris in Search of Martenarten, in which the bitter rivals each try to be first to find the most tomb of an Egyptian pharaoh." (AudioFile Magazine)
