About the author

Sir 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. He was also involved in agricultural reform and improvement in the British Empire.

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.

Reviews

[David Nypaver · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was a surprise, a Victorian-era adventure series written by an English colonialist in Africa that actually expresses admiration and even fondness for tribal culture. In today's heated political climate, I doubt this book would be permitted in any coursework or even libraries due to its antiquated racism. That's a bit of a shame because Haggard's even-handed depictions of African nobility (not by 21st century standards of course) probably elicited grumbles of "poppycock" and "balderdash" from some pipe-smoking patrons of English dinner clubs. And the man spins a good hunting yarn. There's so much content in this collection, you'll be wandering the plains and hills of Africa with Alan Quartermain for months, if not years.

[Paul Hanrahan · Rating 5 out of 5]

I took an H. Rider Haggard when I found out he was the creator of the adventurer Alan Quartermain. I first became aware of the character Alan Quartermain when I saw him played by Sean Connery in the movie The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. The adventures of Alan Quartermain are set in an era radically different from out own. Not only are the adventures entertaining and well written, they will provide you with insight into a different historical period that can't be found in a text book.

Good collection

A complete, so far as I can tell, collection of the world of a prolific and readable author. I read much of his works when young, and I have much enjoyed becoming re-acquainted.
Somewhat disappointed to find that half of Smith and the Pharoahs is missing
