Trade Paperback. Condition: Very Good. First Dover Edition. 636 Pages Plus 11 Page Catalog of Dover Books. This is the June 1, 1951 Dover Paperback Edition with a cover price $2.00. Dover #T584. The spine is concave. The interior text pages tight and white. No marks of any sort. These three great novels of African adventure continue to be favorite reading of those who love a thrilling tale. Perhaps the reason that they continue to be part of the public imagination, delighting each new generation afresh, is that they are filled with qualities close to the human heart. Adventure, discovery, desire for immortality, terror, search for the primitive, for what is unadorned by civilization. As Kipling said of Haggard's work, It goes, and it grips, and it moves with all the freshness of youth. Haggard had lived for years among primitive peoples in Africa, and his knowledge of the Dark Continent was matched by few men. Yet beyond his personal knowledge of Africa, his experience of savage life and wild lands, and his faculty for making us believe impossible tales-lies a feeling for the supernatural. Adventure alone was not enough for Haggard. As he said, The thing must have a heart; mere adventures are not enough-I can turn them out by the peck. About She, one of the great mythical creations of the late 19th century, he said The only clear notion that I had was that of an immortal woman inspired by immortal love, and it came faster than my poor aching hand could set it down. Kipling simply said, You did not write She, you know. Something wrote it through you. His novels have been called parables, asking What are science, learning, and consciousness of knowledge and power, in the face of Omnipotence? They have been called romance. And they have been called excitingly alive and imaginative by almost everyone who has ever picked up a volume from Robert L. Stevenson to George Orwell.

Cloth. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. None (illustrator). First edition. An excellent copy of this collection of three novels by prominent English writer, Sir Henry Rider Haggard. First thus, being the first time these three novels were published in one binding. These three novels were originally published between 1885 and 1887.

Haggard was a pioneer in the world of adventure fiction and romance, being a key author in the lost world genre, which was very popular at the time.'Allan Quatermain' was a sequel to the ever popular 'King Solomon's Mines', with all three novels in this collection set in Africa, as was common with Haggard's adventure novels. Bound in the publisher's original cloth, with the original, unclipped dust wrapper. Externally, excellent, with light shelf wear and the odd handling mark. Dust wrapper is also excellent, with minor shelf wear. Internally, firmly bound. Pages bright and clean. Fine. book.

Hardcover. Condition: Good. Unclear. FOREWORD BY ALLAN QUATERMAIN Now that this book is printed, and about to be given to the world, a sense of its shortcomings, both in style and contents, weighs very heavily upon me. As regards the latter, I can only say that it does not pretend to be a full account of everything we did and saw. There are many things connected with our journey into Kukuanaland that I should have liked to dwell upon at length, which, as it is, have been scarcely alluded to. Amongst these are the curious legends which I collected about the chain armour that saved us from destruction in the great battle of Loo, and also about the "Silent Ones" or Colossi at the mouth of the stalactite cave. Again, if I had given way to my own impulses, I should have wished to go into the differences, some of which are to my mind very suggestive, between the Zulu and Kukuana dialects. Also a few pages might have been given bp profitably to the consideration of the indigenous flora and fauna of Kukuanaland. Then there remains the most interesting subject that, as it is, has only been touched on incidentally- of the magnificent system of military organisation in force in that country, which, in my opinion, is much superior to that inaugurated by Chaka in Zululand, inasmuch as it permits of even more rapid mobilisation, and does not necessitate the employment of the pernicious system of forced celibacy. Lastly, I have scarcely spoken of the domestic and family customs of the Kukuanas, many of which are exceedingly quaint, or of their proficiency in the art of smelting and welding metals. This science they carry to consider able perfection, of which a good example is to be seen in their "tollas," or heavy throwing knives, the backs of these weapons being made of hammered iron, and the edges of beautiful steel welded with great skill on to the iron frames. The fact of the matter is, I thought, with Sir Henry Curtis and Captain Good, that the best plan would be to tell my story in a plain, straightforward manner, and to leave these matters to be dealt with subsequently in whatever way ultimately may appear to be desirable. In the meanwhile I shall, of course, be delighted to give all information in my power to anybody interested in such things. And now it only remains for me to offer apologies for my blunt way of writing. I can but say in excuse of it that I am more accus tomed to handle a rifle than a pen, and cannot make any pretence to the grand literary flights and flourishes which I see in novelsfor some times I like to read a novel. I suppose they the flights and flourishesare desirable, and I regret not being able to supply them; but at the same time I cannot help thinking that simple things are always the most impressive, and that books are easier to understand when they are written in plain language, though perhaps I have no right to set up an opinion on such a matter. "A sharp spear," runs the Kukuana saying, "needs no polish"; and on the same principle I venture to hope that a true story, however strange it may be, does not require to be decked out in fine words. ------------------------------------------ Sweet book, 369 pages ---------- Orders of $100.00 or more are shipped using tracked courier delivery services.
