The Great Stories of Rider Haggard and Allan Quartermain
Overview
Lost cities, ancient treasure, and one of literature's greatest hunters await in this gathering of high adventure from the Victorian writer who all but invented the lost-world romance.
Few characters loom as large in adventure fiction as the weathered big-game hunter Allan Quatermain, and here his finest exploits are collected in a single volume. Drawing on his years in southern Africa, H. Rider Haggard filled these tales with peril, wonder, and the sweep of unmapped country - expeditions into forgotten kingdoms, encounters with warrior nations, and quests for riches guarded by the dead. Thrilling and vividly imagined, they remain a cornerstone of the genre and a delight for every armchair explorer.
