The titles were widely read for their catholic taste in travel, sports, adventure, natural history and society. The most popular titles were "Cassell's Magazine" and "The Windsor Magazine" and each published original fiction in serializations which ensured a regular core of faithful readers. We have captured the period feel of the originals in this modern re~presentation by retaining the original setting and the superb illustrations, Maurice Greiffenhagen's rendering of the adventures of "Ayesha" are particularly outstanding. Rider Haggard had already secured a worthwhile following from his earlier works when these two classic adventures were first published, the first novel to bring critical acclaim was "King Solomon's Mines" (1885) and this was followed, two years later, by "She". This selection features "Ayesha the return of She" a less well known but equally exciting sequel, and "Benita" one of a group of powerful sagas based on and set in the dark continent much beloved by the Victorian Empire builders of those times. Haggard acquired a very wide knowledge of Africa and its people, serving with sir Theo Shepstone's staff in South Africa prior to the retrocession of 1881, and had in fact raised the flag at the annexation in 1877. Haggard was also a farmer of some wide experience and served on several Government commissions connected with agricultural matters, it was this work rather than for his writing which won him a knighthood in 1912. He wrote two enduring tomes on the land', "A Farmer's Year" (1899) and "Rural England" (2 Vols, 1902). He completed his two volume autobiography in 1924, and died in London on May 14th the following year.

Paperback. Condition: NEW. Paperback. Sir Henry Rider Haggard KBE (1856-1925) was a Victorian writer of adventure novels set in exotic locations. After failing his army entrance exam he was sent to a private 'crammer' in London to prepare for the entrance exam for the British Foreign Office, for which he never sat. Haggard's father sent him to Africa in an unpaid position as assistant to the secretary to Lieutenant-Governor of Natal Sir Henry Bulwer. Heavily influenced by the larger-than-life adventurers he met in Colonial Africa, the great mineral wealth discovered in Africa, and the ruins of ancient lost civilizations in Africa such as Great Zimbabwe, Haggard created his Allan Quatermain adventures. Haggard also wrote about agricultural and social issues reform, in part inspired by his experiences in Africa, but also based on what he saw in Europe.
