Allan Quatermain is a Victorian Indiana Jones – he triumphs over deserts, snowy mountains, tribal warfare and witches, and unearths the mythical treasure of King Solomon’s mines. This faithful but unpretending record of a remarkable adventure is hereby respectfully dedicated by the narrator to all the big boys and little boys who read it. I offer apologies for my blunt way of writing. I can but say in excuse of it that I am more accustomed to handling a rifle than a pen. This is the strange history of our journey into the heart of Kukuanaland; a trek into the interior of the dark continent to find a lost friend and discover the diamond mines of King Solomon.In the course of a long life of close shaves, I never had such shaves as those which I have recently experienced. – Allan Quatermain, of Durban, Natal, Gentleman One of the great page-turners in English literature Guardian
