Benita: An African Romance

by H. Rider Haggard

Overview

A shipwreck. A treasure of hidden gold. A desperate search. Haggard—who viewed his contemporary, Robert Louis Stevenson, as inspiration and competition—pulls out the stops in this 1906 action-adventure tale of ghosts, spirit possession, a lost race, and a young woman searching Africa for her missing father.

About the Author

Sir Henry Rider Haggard (1856-1925) was an English author of adventure novels set in exotic locales, predominantly Africa. King Solomon’s Mines, one of his best-known books, details the life of the explorer Allan Quartermain. She: A History of Adventure followed, introducing the character Ayesha. While much of Haggard’s reputation stems from those two books and their subsequent series, he also wrote nonfiction and short stories.
