About this listen

The Green Mummy by Fergus Hume is a novel likely written during the late 19th century. The story revolves around a young couple, Archie Hope and Lucy Kendal, as they navigate romance against a backdrop filled with mystery and intrigue, particularly centering on a rare mummy that Lucy’s archaeologist stepfather, Professor Braddock, is eager to acquire.

At the start of the novel, listeners are introduced to Archie and Lucy, who share a playful yet serious conversation about their engagement. Archie reveals the lengths he has gone to in order to gain Professor Braddock’s consent to marry Lucy, involving the purchase of a valuable Peruvian mummy from Malta. Their lighthearted banter is soon overshadowed by more foreboding concerns regarding the mysterious mummy, as Lucy expresses unease about her stepfather’s obsession with archaeology.

The opening establishes a combination of romantic elements and hints at darker, unforeseen complications, setting the stage for a larger mystery involving the disappearance of the mummy and the tragic fate of Braddock’s assistant, which subsequently unfolds.
