    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.

      Aug 4, 2021

      Years ago, I bought an old, illustrated book from our General Assembly Library in Melbourne, of all places, puzzled at what a book with such a fancy library stamp was doing there. That’s what we do with old books our taxes paid for, I realised. We de
