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.
