A dramatic new full-cast BBC Radio 4 adaptation of H Rider Haggard's Victorian novel
H Rider Haggard (22 June 1856 - 14 May 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, situated at the lighter end of Victorian literature, continue to be popular and influential.
One of the great page-turners in English literature—John
Sutherland, Guardian
I can distinctly remember handling the book as if it might somehow
give me, a boy in Africa, magical access to the African adventures
it contained. It still does now. I need only pick up this book and,
like the door to Solomon's treasure chamber, a mass of stone rises
from the floor and vanishes into the rock above—Giles Foden,
Guardian
