Mallqui my friend the mummy Simon Parkinson

"Mallqui, my friend the mummy'" is a, fun, short story for children that introduces them to the world, and characters, of pre-Hispanic Peru. The story begins in the Peruvian Cordillera Blanca (White Range of mountains in the Andes), where two local children meet a peculiar mummy, Mallqui. Mallqui warns them that all the mummies are in danger of disappearing, but that they, the children could prevent this. This is how they start on a trip where they visit Cusco, in the time of the Incas, and to meet the Lord of Sipán, an important Moche leader on the north coast of Peru, and, just maybe to save the Mummies!
