Item description from seller

The first edition of this two volume posthumously published autobiography from H. Rider Haggard, in the very scarce original dust wrapper. The first edition, first impression of this work, in the very scarce publisher's original price unclipped dust wrapper.Volume I illustrated with a frontispiece and eight plates, and volume II with a frontispiece and six plates. Collated, complete.Published the year after his death, this is the autobiography of novelist H. Rider Haggard, known for his adventure fiction romances, and four his pioneering of the lost world genre.Graham Greene wrote of Haggard 'enchantment is just what this writer exercised; he fixed pictures in our minds that thirty years have been unable to wear away'. In the publisher's original cloth bindings, with price unclipped dust wrappers. Externally, very smart, with light tide mark to fore edge of volume II front board. Spotting to fore edges of text blocks. Dust wrappers lightly sunned to back strips. Minor losses to back strip head and tail of volume I dust wrapper, with small hole to centre of back strip. Significant closed tears to head and tail of volume II back strip, with extensive tape repairs to back strip reverse. Internally, firmly bound. Pages bright, with spotting throughout and the odd instance of foxing, most concentrated to first and last leaves of each volume, and to perimeters of leaves surrounding plates. Very Good Indeed.
