Review

Mummy, the Eyewitness Guide, takes a close-up look at natural and embalmed mummies and features superb colour photographs of preserved bodies, ranging from a preserved hunter who froze to death to the mummy of Ramesses the Great.

Strong design and fascinating written content make Mummy one of the most interesting books in the "Eyewitness" series, and gives an insight in to the what, whens and hows of mummification.

A great book for anyone with a curiosity about this occasionally macabre subject, Mummy is a winning title in this thought-provoking series. Age 9 and over. --Susan Harrison
