Tutankhamen’s sealed burial chambers were miraculously intact, and inside was a collection of several thousand priceless objects, including a gold coffin containing the mummy of the teenage king.

What We are Reading

Cold Comfort Farm by Stella Gibbons

If you could use a laugh - go back to Cold Comfort Farm -Published in 1933 - a hilarious portrait of British Country Life in the 30s. It may be easier to find at the library or on your Kindle - but we love this cover by Roz Chast for the 4th edition
