Rider Haggard's affection for and affinity with the 'Dark Continent' is well known. His adventures featuring Allan Quatermain-the little white hunter, trader and explorer are justly famous and appear as a collected set in their entirety from Leonaur. For some that generous helping of African adventures simply will not be sufficient. Although Haggard was a prolific author not all of his material is familiar or available to those who would enjoy it. Leonaur has gathered together Haggard's 'other' adventures set in Africa into one collection of four books available in soft cover and hard cover with dust jacket for collectors.
Volume four of Leonaur's collection of Haggard's African stories concludes the series in fine and satisfying style. The first of the two novels here is 'The Ghost Kings'. Those familiar with the Quatermain stories will recognise a familiar theme that always delivers a good tale. A 'White Priestess' has arisen in the Zulu nation and intrigue and violence must surely follow. This volume concludes explosively with the novel, 'The Yellow Idol', an exciting adventure with all the ingredients Haggard enthusiasts love. Our heroes venture into the hostile desert, but beneath its sands lies an unknown and hidden city and its strange and mysterious people. This great yarn concludes Leonaur's special collection of eight novels and a novelette in four coordinating volumes that Haggard enthusiasts will want to keep forever.
