About this book

Haggard's most famous creation, the weathered big-game hunter Allan Quatermain, returns in a set of shorter adventures gathered from across the author's career. Quatermain narrates in the plain, unhurried voice of a man who has seen too much, recounting hunts, expeditions, and strange encounters in the veld and the wilds of southern Africa. These pieces sit alongside the novels that made him a household name in Victorian England, and they show Haggard working in miniature, trading sweeping quests for tight, self-contained tales of danger and nerve. Readers who first met Quatermain in King Solomon's Mines will find the same mix of courage, superstition, and hard-won survival. Available free as a PDF and EPUB edition.
