The Ivory Child is a novel written by H. Rider Haggard, first published in 1916. It is an adventure story set in Africa, featuring the recurring character Allan Quatermain, a British explorer and adventurer. The story begins with Quatermain and his companions, including a Zulu warrior named Umslopogaas, on a mission to find the lost son of a wealthy Englishman named Neville. They soon discover that the boy has been kidnapped by a mysterious and powerful African queen known as She-who-must-be-obeyed, who rules over a tribe of warriors known as the People of the Mist. As Quatermain and his companions navigate the dangerous terrain of Africa, they encounter a variety of obstacles, including hostile tribes, treacherous terrain, and dangerous animals. They also learn more about the Ivory Child, a legendary figure who is said to possess incredible power and who may hold the key to their mission.As they get closer to their goal, Quatermain and his companions must confront She-who-must-be-obeyed and her army of warriors in a final, epic battle. Along the way, they also learn more about themselves and each other, as they face their fears and overcome seemingly insurmountable challenges.The Ivory Child is a classic adventure novel that combines action, suspense, and intrigue with vivid descriptions of African landscapes and cultures. It is a must-read for fans of Haggard's other works, as well as anyone who enjoys a thrilling, fast-paced adventure story.Look here, Mr. Quatermain, you were always a bit of a sportsman, and I'll make you an offer. If I kill more birds than you do to-day, you shall promise to hold your tongue about my affairs in South Africa; and if you kill more than I do, you shall still hold your tongue, but I will pay you that ����250 and interest for six years.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
