Six classic supernatural short stories, including one Allan Quatermain tale, from the author of King’s Solomon’s Mines. Originally published in 1920, this collection of six stories with a supernatural bent takes readers on a wild ride. An archaeologist with a passion for Egyptology is locked overnight in the Cairo Museum, and the experience changes his life. Haggard’s greatest creation, Allan Quatermain, tells the tale of a Zulu man’s sacrifice and bravery. A British Army captain stationed in Southern Africa carries on a love affair with a woman in London. An English missionary and his family live with a Zulu tribe. On the eve of his marriage to his second wife, a man is haunted by the ghost of his first wife. A mother in the English countryside makes a great sacrifice. In these six tales, Haggard creates worlds of magic, ghosts, reincarnations, and more, and demonstrates his mastery of the form.
