Haggard is most famous for his novel ‘King Solomon’s Mines’ (1885), which is often considered to be his masterpiece, along with ‘She: A History of Adventure’ (1887). His storytelling, imbued with a sense of adventure and the exotic, captivated readers and expanded the horizons of the adventure novel in the process. Despite the title provided, ‘The Greatest Tales of Ancient World’ is not a recognized work of Haggard; rather, his canon includes timeless classics like ‘Allan Quatermain’ (1887), ‘The Ghost Kings’ (1908), and ‘When the World Shook’ (1919). Haggard’s literary style is characterized by vivid imagery, imagination, and an evocative representation of landscapes. His works commonly feature larger-than-life heroes who face insurmountable odds and civilizations that time forgot. He heavily influenced the fantasy and adventure genres, impacting authors like J.R.R. Tolkien and C.S. Lewis.
