Sounds good! Who was the author???

H. Rider Haggard


Thanks. Just saw that.

I have an omnibus collection. Currently there are a "complete" collection and one of 60 works in the Kindle section, plus singles.

I wanted at least one hard copy, and found a nice 1923 edition of "Ayesha", perhaps his second most well-known creation. Gotta get back into these after I finish my latest Nero Wolfe.

Allan Quatermain is based somewhat on F.C. Selous. Besides the big novels, there are a number of short stories where he figures, as well as one where he runs into "She Who Must Be Obeyed", one scary chick, btw. "Allan Quatermain" is a huge, fantastic story that should've been made into a blockbuster flick decades ago.

Can't recommend these enough.

Edit: audio book fans can find full versions through the Librivox app, free.
