1,568 books1,091 followersSir Henry Rider Haggard, KBE was an English writer of adventure novels set in exotic locations, predominantly Africa, and the creator of the Lost World literary genre. His stories, situated at the lighter end of the scale of Victorian literature, continue to be popular and influential.

His breakout novel was King Solomon's Mines (1885), which was to be the first in a series telling of the multitudinous adventures of its protagonist, Allan Quatermain.
Haggard was made a Knight Bachelor in 1912 and a Knight Commander of the Order of the British Empire in 1919. He stood unsuccessfully for Parliament as a Conservative candidate for the Eastern division of Norfolk in 1895. The locality of Rider, British Columbia, was named in his memory.

She Complete
3 novels complete in one book of the chronicles of Ayesha (She who must be obeyed!). Excellent package of the stories of She. Well written and good adventure but the writing is somewhat stilted in an older form. Despite this fact the greatness of the story prevails. Perhaps Haggard's best story.

It was a clumsy story. The charecters were dull. Only like Holly. Liked the ending though, couldn't have been better. Thus giving 2 star. Won't recommend it to anyone.
