Joyce Tyldesley. A catch-all study by a British Egyptologist of the most famous boy king of the 18th Dynasty. Fluent in her subject, Tyldesley gives her own spin to the story in order to get beyond the sensational nonsense. She looks at Howard Carter's remarkable pinpointing of the tomb named KV 62 in the Valley of the Kings, and the facts and deceptions about the artifacts and ensuing autopsies.Tyldesley does an admirable detective job of reconstructing the boy king's narrative. Proves that there is no end to the fascination, and speculation, around this subject.--Kirkus (Check Catalog)
