"She" is one of the classics of imaginative literature, and one of the best-selling books of all time. She was extraordinarily popular upon its release and has never been out of print. The story is a first-person narrative that follows the journey of Horace Holly and his ward Leo Vincey to a lost kingdom in the African interior. There they encounter a primitive race of natives and a mysterious white queen named Ayesha who reigns as the all-powerful "She", or "She-who-must-be-obeyed". In this work, Rider Haggard developed the conventions of the Lost World subgenre, which many later authors emulated. "Ayesha, the Return of She" is a gothic-fantasy novel, a sequel to his far more popular and well known novel, She. "The People of the Mist" is the tale of a British adventurer seeking wealth in the wilds of Africa, finding romance, and discovering a lost race and its monstrous god. "Allan and the Ice-Gods" featurs the famous character Allan Quartermain, and it is based on an idea given to Haggard by Rudyard Kipling. The story details Quartermain's past life regression to a stone-age ancestor and the various adventures involved. "She and Allan" is a novel, in which Haggard brought together his two most popular characters, Ayesha from She (to which it serves as a prequel), and Allan Quatermain from King Solomon's Mines. Table of Contents: She: A History of Adventure The World's Desire Eric Brighteyes The People of the Mist Ayesha Wisdom's Daughter Heu-Heu Allan and the Ice-gods Love Eternal She and Allan Sir Henry Rider Haggard (1856-1925) was an English writer of adventure novels set in exotic locations, predominantly Africa, and a pioneer of the Lost World literary genre.

Embark upon an awe-inspiring literary journey with 'The Ultimate H. Rider Haggard Collection', an assemblage of the prolific oeuvre of Sir Henry Rider Haggard. Within its pages lies an adventure across continents and through the veils of time, consisting of the well-known Allan Quatermain and Ayesha series, amongst numerous other novels, short stories, and non-fiction works. Haggard's illustrious command of language and narrative structure grants readers passage to worlds filled with daring exploits, ancient civilizations, and mythological splendors, while anchoring himself firmly as a cardinal figure in the Lost World literary tradition. This collection accentuates Haggard's notable literary style by encapsulating the breadth of his imaginative prowess and his influential contributions to the genre. Sir Henry Rider Haggard was not merely an author; he was an architect of escapism that reflected his real-world encounters with diverse cultures and landscapes through his tenure in the British colonial administration in South Africa. The experiences garnered from his time abroad, markedly in Africa, fed into the vibrant tapestry of his writing, imbuing it with authenticity and a tangible sense of place. Haggard's work is symptomatic of the Victorian society's fascination with the 'Other' and represents a narrative conduit that sated the era's appetite for exploration and discovery. His literary outpouring was arguably a catalyst for his contemporaries and subsequent generations of adventure and fantasy writers. Readers across the spectrum—from the erudite scholar to the casual aficionado of classic literature—will find 'The Ultimate H. Rider Haggard Collection' to be an invaluable treasury. Those in quest of high adventure, sweeping romance, and the allure of the unknown will be richly rewarded. Haggard's narratives are not merely stories; they are portals to the prodigious, an invitation to the imagination, and a reverent nod to the bygone days of literary enchantment. This compendium is a testament to the enduring legacy of a master storyteller, making it an essential cornerstone for any home library.

Sir Henry Rider Haggard (1856-1925) was an English writer of adventure novels and dark fantasy stories set in exotic locations, predominantly Africa, and a pioneer of the Lost World literary genre. "Ernest did not sleep well that night: the scene of the evening haunted his dreams, and he awoke with a sense of oppression that follows impartially on the heels of misfortune, folly, and lobster-salad. Nor did the broad light of the summer day disperse his sorrows; indeed, it only served to define them more clearly. Ernest was a very inexperienced youth, but, inexperienced as he was, he could not but recognise that he had let himself in for an awkward business." (Extract)
