The Tomb of the Boy King

(1) 4-6 Illustrated by Tom Pohrt. Frank's re-envisioning of Howard Carter's quest for King Tut's tomb is intriguing as much by the clever way the poet fits so much relevant information into his precisely scanned quatrains as by his judicious selection of facts to set the drama of the discovery in its historical and human contexts. The illustrations evoke desert light and underground gloom with equal skill. This book's fine qualities recommend it for a multitude of uses.
