H. Rider Haggard's 1919 novel is a rousing lost-world adventure-fantasy. Vivid, imaginative, epic. Read it for grand late Haggard, an antediluvian immortal with the power to remake the Earth, a beautiful sleeping princess, and a sweeping romance of lost civilizations and cosmic power, from the master who gave the world She and King Solomon's Mines.
