H. Rider Haggard's Allan and the Holy Flower is a classic Allan Quatermain adventure of African exploration, danger, slave traders, warrior kingdoms, lost places, and a mysterious rare orchid. When Allan Quatermain brings back word of an extraordinary flower from the African interior, the tale grows into a dangerous expedition financed by an orchid collector and driven by curiosity, greed, courage, and the lure of the unknown. The journey leads through perilous territory, violent encounters, strange customs, treachery, and the kind of high adventure that made Quatermain one of the defining heroes of imperial-era adventure fiction.
First published in 1915, Allan and the Holy Flower is the seventh Allan Quatermain novel and part of Haggard's larger sequence of African adventure romances. The book was originally known in Britain as The Holy Flower and published in America as Allan and the Holy Flower, placing it within the same tradition as King Solomon's Mines, Allan Quatermain, Marie, Child of Storm, and the later Quatermain adventures. Readers interested in classic adventure fiction, lost-world romance, African expedition stories, vintage series fiction, imperial adventure, and early twentieth-century popular literature will find this a vigorous and characteristic Haggard novel.
