The Jewel of Seven Stars
A scholar's daughter finds her father unconscious in a room full of Egyptian relics, and the household begins an experiment to wake a queen who has been dead three thousand years.
Things worth knowing
- In the 1903 text the narrator returns to the cave and finds every one of his companions dead on the floor; the 1912 reissue cuts a chapter, lets them all survive, and marries Malcolm to Margaret.
- Stoker took the premise from Sir William Wilde, Oscar Wilde's father, who brought a mummy back from Egypt to Dublin.

Where this comes from
This recording uses the first edition of 1903, with its original ending, rather than the 1912 reissue in which that ending was cut. Bram Stoker died in 1912, so the book is in the public domain in the United States and in countries that protect a work for seventy years after the author's death.
