King Solomon's Treasures and Bess is a companion book to Jess by John De Morgan. It tells the story of Bess, a young girl who is sent on a mission to find the treasures of King Solomon. Along the way, she meets a variety of characters and faces many challenges, including dealing with a treacherous enemy who is also searching for the treasures. Bess must use her wits and bravery to outsmart her foes and ultimately find the treasures. This book is a thrilling adventure tale that will captivate readers of all ages.1887. This book includes the two novels by John De Morgan, King Solomon's Treasures, and Bess: A Companion to Jess. Both works were intended to be parodies of H. Rider Haggard. In King Solomon's Mines, Arthur Montmorency, called Monty in short by his intimate friends, has had enough of high society life, the parties, the balls, the pretentiousness, and meets up with Jack. He and Jack decide to seek adventure in Africa. The journey saved Monty's life and from the day he became a comrade of Jack O'Brien, he never felt ennui. To occupy his spare time and thinking the adventure would be of interest to others, Monty jotted down the principal things that happened and set them down for all to read. Illustrated. In Bess, we are taken on an adventure with Henry Waldo Adair, retired captain of her Britannic Majesty's Tenth Regiment of Cavalry, who, after spending nearly 35 years knocking about the world, returns to London, to boredom.
