The Encyclopedia of Mummies by Bob Brier is an up-to-date alphabetical listing of many mummies from around the world that makes great easy reading. Brier covers famous Egyptian mummies (such as King Tut) as well as mummies of famous people (Lenin and Napoleon). He also presents information about mummies made (accidentally and intentionally) in China, Italy, Peru, and the United States. But the best part perhaps is all of the little details: Yummy Mummy Candies or Mummies and Deadies (small bone-shaped hard candy).

Filled with black-&-white photographs, including those of many rare mummies. Excellent reference book for anyone who wants mummies at her/his fingertips! Two appendices are included; one lists mummy films through 1993 while the other lists museums with mummy collections. A 28-page bibliography and an extensive index are also included. For older children (grades 4 and up) and adults.
