About This Item

London: Longmans, Green, and Co. , 1888. First edition. Cloth. Very Good. 7.5" by 5". None. A smart first edition of this exciting adventure novel from popular Victorian author H. Rider Haggard. First edition. On a hunting expedition, Allan Quartermain is tasked with taking part in an attack on a native kraal to rescue a captured English hunter and avenge Maiwa, an African princess whose baby has been killed. Written by Sir Henry Rider Haggard, an English writer of adventure fiction romances set in exotic locations and a pioneer of the lost world literary genre. Issued simultaneously with those bound in black cloth, this issue does not include publisher's catalogue to the rear. As cited in "A Bibliography of the Works of Sir Henry Rider Haggard 1856-1925" by J. E. Scott. In the original pale blue-green paper covered binding. Externally, smart with light rubbing and minor bumping to the extremities. Sunning to the spine and the odd mark to the boards. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are very bright with light scattered spotting. Light age toning to the endpapers. Very Good
