H. Rider Haggard's Allan's Wife returns to the earlier life of Allan Quatermain, the legendary hunter and adventurer first made famous in King Solomon's Mines. First published in 1889 as the title story of Allan's Wife and Other Tales, this adventure reveals a more personal chapter in Quatermain's history: his youth, his marriage to Stella, and the dangers and losses that shaped the man who would become one of Victorian adventure fiction's most enduring figures.
Blending African adventure, romance, peril, hunting, memory, and the lost-world atmosphere associated with Haggard's fiction, Allan's Wife deepens the mythology of the Allan Quatermain cycle while retaining the pace and colour of classic imperial adventure. For readers of Victorian adventure fiction, lost-world novels, nineteenth-century popular literature, early fantasy adventure, and the Allan Quatermain series, this volume offers a compact but important instalment in Haggard's larger fictional world.
