Owen Callandar, Keeper of Very Small Objects at the British Museum, has a problem. The mummified body of Kenamun the Scribe has come back to life, and wants his amulet. He is also in serious need of some moisturiser, a good meal and some traditional Egyptian remedies. With the help of a local beautician, along with some senior Egyptologists, Owen helps Kenamun in his discovery of London.
