Author

H. Rider Haggard

Sir Henry Rider Haggard, (1856-1925) commonly known as H. Rider Haggard was an English author active during the Victorian era. Considered a pioneer of the lost world genre, Haggard was known for his adventure fiction. His work often depicted African settings inspired by the seven years he lived in South Africa with his family. In 1880, Haggard married Marianna Louisa Margitson and together they had four children, one of which followed her father’s footsteps and became an author. Haggard is still widely read today, and is celebrated for his imaginative wit and impact on 19th century adventure literature.

    I've read and re-read this book and I love it everytime. There is something about that stiff upper lip, reserved, oh so British attitude that shouldn't work in an adventure story, but works magnificently here.

    Like Turtledove, Haggard is not a stylist, but this is a good sequel to "King Solomon's Mines". If you like books set just off the edge of the map, then this is a ripping yarn.

    A pleasant diversion. I could have done without some of the "Great White Hunter" crap, but otherwise a nice little adventure - sometimes predictable, but still entertaining. The characters were colorful and often had more depth than I expected.

    Another recommend required reading for men. I agree

    The second Allen Quartermain book, and in some ways even greater than King Solomon's Mines, providing closure for most of the main characters, including Allen himself, who dies at the end of it. All the other stories thereafter are retrospective.
