The Treasury of Allan Quatermain Vol II: Five Classic Adventure Novels, (Paperback)

The Treasury of Allan Quatermain, Volume II gathers five of H. Rider Haggard's classic adventure novels featuring the original great explorer-adventurer of modern fiction.

Before the age of cinematic archaeologists and globe-trotting treasure hunters, there was Allan Quatermain-the seasoned hunter, reluctant hero, and relentless seeker of lost civilizations. First introduced in King Solomon's Mines, Quatermain became one of the foundational figures of modern adventure fiction, shaping the archetype that would later echo through film and popular culture.

This second treasury volume includes:

• Allan and the Holy Flower
• Finished
• The Ivory Child
• The Ancient Allan
• She and Allan

Across Africa and beyond, Haggard blends lost worlds, mysticism, imperial frontier drama, ancient legend, and personal courage into sweeping narratives of exploration and survival. Written at the height of the imperial romance tradition, these novels combine fast-moving adventure with mythic imagination and psychological depth. More than mere treasure hunts, they are tales of endurance, loyalty, and the costs of empire.

For readers of classic adventure fiction, lost-world narratives, and the literary ancestors of modern action heroes, Allan Quatermain remains the original standard.
