About the Author

H. Rider Haggard (1856-1925) was a British writer, scholar, and agricultural reformist. He was a civil servant in Africa as a young man, which was the basis of his history of southern Africa, Cetywayo and His White Neighbors (1882). His first two novels were unsuccessful , yet his third novel, the African adventure story King Solomon’s Mines (1885), was a literary triumph, and is considered to be the first “lost world” narrative. His writing had great influence on Arthur Conan Doyle, H.P. Lovecraft, and Rudyard Kipling among others. His novel She is one of the best-selling books of all time.
