  <abstract>"Don Sturdy in the Tombs of Gold, or The Old Egyptian's Great Secret" by Victor Appleton is a children’s adventure novel likely written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around young Don Sturdy, who embarks on an exhilarating journey to Egypt in search of his missing father and mother, alongside his uncles. The plot thickens as they confront mysteries, including the elusive Tombs of Gold, which hold great significance to Don’s father, who has been consumed by an obsession with them.  The beginning of the story sets a tone of suspense and urgency as Don expresses his anxiety over his father's mysterious disappearance. After receiving a cablegram from his mother indicating that she is in Egypt and his father is missing, Don is determined to travel there and unravel the mystery. The opening chapters introduce his supportive family members, Don's friends, and hints at past adventures that may come into play as they prepare for their voyage. As Don's quest unfolds, readers can expect thrilling encounters, new friendships, and ultimately, the unveiling of secrets hidden within the ancient tombs.
