‘She’ is one of the classics of imaginative literature, and one of the best-selling books of all time. She was extraordinarily popular upon its release and has never been out of print. The story is a first-person narrative that follows the journey of Horace Holly and his ward Leo Vincey to a lost kingdom in the African interior. There they encounter a primitive race of natives and a mysterious white queen named Ayesha who reigns as the all-powerful ‘She’, or ‘She-who-must-be-obeyed’. In this work, Rider Haggard developed the conventions of the Lost World subgenre, which many later authors emulated.
‘Ayesha, the Return of She’ is a gothic-fantasy novel, a sequel to his far more popular and well known novel, She.
‘The People of the Mist’ is the tale of a British adventurer seeking wealth in the wilds of Africa, finding romance, and discovering a lost race and its monstrous god.
‘Allan and the Ice-Gods’ featurs the famous character Allan Quartermain, and it is based on an idea given to Haggard by Rudyard Kipling. The story details Quartermain’s past life regression to a stone-age ancestor and the various adventures involved.
‘She and Allan’ is a novel, in which Haggard brought together his two most popular characters, Ayesha from She (to which it serves as a prequel), and Allan Quatermain from King Solomon’s Mines.
