With Nut the Sky Goddess as their guide, Tutu and her cat Tam-iu set off on their journey from the lush and fertile valley of the Nile, via the land of dreams, to the Underworld. There Anubis, the jackal-headed god, weighs Tutu’s heart and deeds against the Feather of Truth. Will she escape Amut the devourer of souls, and will her heart be light enough to enter the Afterlife?
