Rediscover the Puffin Classics collection and bring the best-loved classics to a new generation - including this thrilling edition of King Solomon's Mines.
Following a mysterious ancient map, a small group of men trek into southern Africa in search of a lost friend - and the fabled diamond mines of King Solomon. Led by the intrepid English adventurer and fortune hunter Allan Quartermain, they discover a frozen corpse, survive untold dangers in remote mountains and deserts, and encounter the merciless King Twala en route to the legendary hoard of diamonds.
One of the bestselling novels of the l9th century and the inspiration for countless adventure stories, including Indiana Jones, this is a must-read for lovers of lost worlds.
H. Rider Haggard (1856 - 1925) was an English writer of adventure novels set in exotic locations, predominantly Africa, and a pioneer of the Lost World literary genre. He was also involved in agricultural reform throughout the British Empire. His stories, written towards the end of Victorian literature, continue to be popular and influential.
