About this Item
Description:
Being His Commonplace Book for 1898. With 2 Maps and 36 Illustrations by G. Leon Little. London: Longmans, Green, and Co., 1899. 32 pp ads dated Sep 1898. Original dark blue cloth decorated in gilt. First Edition, which consisted of 3000 copies. This was Haggard's second volume of non-fiction (his first was his first book, CETYWAYO AND HIS WHITE NEIGHBOURS, in 1882). The volume is a month-by-month chronicle of the "struggles of those who were engaged in agriculture during that trying time" (per his later autobiography). As many veteran Haggard collectors know, it is these non-fiction Haggard titles that are among the most elusive, since the number of copies issued was a small fraction of the size of his fiction printings. A bright, near-fine copy (small area of front cover rubbed). Scott 32; Whatmore NF2. Seller Inventory # 2377

Soft cover. Condition: Good. London: The Cresset Library, 1987. Soft Cover. 489 p. Good: some creases and wear to the covers, with small chipping to top and base of spine but clean and sound inside. Introduction by Ronald Blythe. Fascinating diary of the year 1898 on H. Rider Haggard's farm. It covers what he is doing agriculturally, but also the people around him, their lives and social conditions, in intensely descriptive language. It's an intriguing contrast between the dashing adventures of his books and the man absorbed in the details of country life. Seller Inventory # 000530
