Untitled

Third in the trilogy of "She". Not quite as action-packed, far more wordy and philosophical, written after the great cataclysm of WWI and two years before Haggard's death. But still entrancing, very readable. I love this whole series.

The fourth and last and best in the Ayesha series.

Written toward the end of his career, a mature H. Rider Haggard tells in this romance the complete story of Ayesha, and how She succumbed to the immortal Fire at Kor. This romance is required reading for anyone who has enjoyed She, Ayesha: The Return of She, and She and Allan.

Haggard's famous creation, She, tells her own life story.

Told with the usual color and flair for adventure, Haggard's immortal She-Who-Must-Be-Obeyed tells her own centuries-long life story, and how she helped cause the downfall of the last Pharoah who was a native Egyptian. Fantasy fans have remembered only a few of Haggard's novels, but all of them are excellent, and this is much a fantasy as it is a very good historical fiction. With links to his other great cycle, the Allan Quatermain series
