H. Rider Haggard She, King Solomon's Mine and Allan Quartermain

She may be the most enchanting and and enduring of all Haggard's works. The romantic, supernatural tale of Ayesha, who has discovered the secret of eternal life and waits two thousand years for the reincarnation of her lost lover, took the reading public by storm. No one had ever read anything quite like She before. In the novel, Leo Vincey and L. Horace Holly, two English scholars and gentlemen, set out on an epic quest to find the lost African land of Kor and solve the mystery of Ayesha. Readers will never forget their adventures, which range from pure nightmare to sublime enchantment. She is one of the most original and imaginative stories even written."--Jacket.
