Sir Henry Rider Haggard was an English writer of adventure novels set largely in Africa, and a founder of the Lost World literary genre. His stories, situated at the lighter end of Victorian literature, continue to be popular and influential.

He rides, too, with all his old dexterity, and the story concerning Zulus, witches, battles, sacrifices, and traitors.
