Rider Haggard, featuring his famous hero Allan Quatermain. The story involves a quest in Africa to rescue a kidnapped woman and centres around the mysterious Ivory Child — a sacred effigy worshipped by the Kendah people. The book blends high adventure, lost civilisations, tribal warfare, and Haggard’s signature elements of the supernatural and African exploration. This 1916 edition is the true first UK edition (published by Cassell), often found in brown or red cloth with decorative stamping. Your copy with the distinctive brown cloth and black geometric lattice design on the boards is a well-recognised variant of the 1916 first edition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePage Count:\u003c\/strong\u003e 348 pages (plus 4 illustrations by A.
