Lost cities, ancient treasure, and one of literature's greatest hunters await in this gathering of high adventure from the Victorian writer who all but invented the lost-world romance.
Few characters loom as large in adventure fiction as the weathered big-game hunter Allan Quatermain, and here his finest exploits are collected in a single volume. Drawing on his years in southern Africa, H. Rider Haggard filled these tales with peril, wonder, and the sweep of unmapped country - expeditions into forgotten kingdoms, encounters with warrior nations, and quests for riches guarded by the dead. Thrilling and vividly imagined, they remain a cornerstone of the genre and a delight for every armchair explorer.
