Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "She" is one of the classics of imaginative literature, and one of the best-selling books of all time. She was extraordinarily popular upon its release and has never been out of print. The story is a first-person narrative that follows the journey of Horace Holly and his ward Leo Vincey to a lost kingdom in the African interior. There they encounter a primitive race of natives and a mysterious white queen named Ayesha who reigns as the all-powerful "She", or "She-who-must-be-obeyed". In this work, Rider Haggard developed the conventions of the Lost World subgenre, which many later authors emulated. "Ayesha, the Return of She" is a gothic-fantasy novel, a sequel to his far more popular and well known novel, She. "The People of the Mist" is the tale of a British adventurer seeking wealth in the wilds of Africa, finding romance, and discovering a lost race and its monstrous god. "Allan and the Ice-Gods" featurs the famous character Allan Quartermain, and it is based on an idea given to Haggard by Rudyard Kipling. The story details Quartermain's past life regression to a stone-age ancestor and the various adventures involved. "She and Allan" is a novel, in which Haggard brought together his two most popular characters, Ayesha from She (to which it serves as a prequel), and Allan Quatermain from King Solomon's Mines. Table of Contents: She: A History of Adventure The World's Desire Eric Brighteyes The People of the Mist Ayesha Wisdom's Daughter Heu-Heu Allan and the Ice-gods Love Eternal She and Allan Sir Henry Rider Haggard (1856-1925) was an English writer of adventure novels set in exotic locations, predominantly Africa, and a pioneer of the Lost World literary genre.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Embark upon an awe-inspiring literary journey with 'The Ultimate H. Rider Haggard Collection', an assemblage of the prolific oeuvre of Sir Henry Rider Haggard. Within its pages lies an adventure across continents and through the veils of time, consisting of the well-known Allan Quatermain and Ayesha series, amongst numerous other novels, short stories, and non-fiction works. Haggard's illustrious command of language and narrative structure grants readers passage to worlds filled with daring exploits, ancient civilizations, and mythological splendors, while anchoring himself firmly as a cardinal figure in the Lost World literary tradition. This collection accentuates Haggard's notable literary style by encapsulating the breadth of his imaginative prowess and his influential contributions to the genre. Sir Henry Rider Haggard was not merely an author; he was an architect of escapism that reflected his real-world encounters with diverse cultures and landscapes through his tenure in the British colonial administration in South Africa. The experiences garnered from his time abroad, markedly in Africa, fed into the vibrant tapestry of his writing, imbuing it with authenticity and a tangible sense of place. Haggard's work is symptomatic of the Victorian society's fascination with the 'Other' and represents a narrative conduit that sated the era's appetite for exploration and discovery. His literary outpouring was arguably a catalyst for his contemporaries and subsequent generations of adventure and fantasy writers. Readers across the spectrum—from the erudite scholar to the casual aficionado of classic literature—will find 'The Ultimate H. Rider Haggard Collection' to be an invaluable treasury. Those in quest of high adventure, sweeping romance, and the allure of the unknown will be richly rewarded. Haggard's narratives are not merely stories; they are portals to the prodigious, an invitation to the imagination, and a reverent nod to the bygone days of literary enchantment. This compendium is a testament to the enduring legacy of a master storyteller, making it an essential cornerstone for any home library.

Book excerpt: What happens when six creative girls accidentally open a Secret Door to a Magical Realm? It doesn't take long for adventure -- and danger -- to find them! Upon arriving in the Realm, eleven-year-old Shaylee and her friends learn they are the long-awaited princesses of the Six Kingdoms, and each girl has a unique magical power tied to her creative talents. But the kingdoms are in ruin thanks to an evil force that has drained nearly all of the power from the Wellspring of Magic. As if that wasn't bad enough, the door between the real world and the Realm is stuck! It can't be opened again -- and the girls can't go home -- until the magic is restored to the Wellspring. Shaylee and her friends must work together using their creative abilities, such as dancing, painting, and beading, to channel powers they never knew they had and fight the dark forces threatening to destroy the Realm. Their adventure will bring them face-to-face with gigantic grizzly bears claiming to be their protectors, green-skinned fairy folks, a scaly river dragon, vampire spiders, and killer plants -- things none of the girls expected to face during their summer break. Can they master their new powers in time to turn back the dark forces that want to trap them in the Realm forever? The Creative Girls Enchanted Adventures series is an irresistible mix of crafts, magic, humor, and adventure that will have girls hooked on reading!
