About the Author
Henry Rider Haggard was born in Norfolk in 1856. His post of junior secretary to the Lieutenant-Governor of Natal, Sir Henry Bulwer meant that he travelled and he spent six years in South Africa . Haggard was bet by his brother that he could not write as good a novel as Stevenson's Treasure Island. The result of this bet was Haggard's 1885 book, King Solomon's Mines. It became a runaway bestseller so Haggard was able to leave London and concentrate on his writing. He published She in 1887. Andrew Lang thought She was 'one of the most astonishing romances I ever read. The more impossible it is, the better you do it, till it seems like a story from the literature of another planet'. Haggard died in 1925.
About the Author
H. Rider Haggard, very much a product of the British Empire system, was a terrific writer of adventure fiction. From the 1880s he pioneered a category of lost world fiction that was continued by H. G. Wells and Edgar Rice Burroughs. With King Solomon's Mines, The Ghost Kings and the Allan Quatermain novels he created a fascinating world of hidden magic, ancient curses and the terror of the unknown.
