Rider Haggard, with the original unclipped dust wrapper. Third edition. Uncommon in the original unclipped dust wrapper. The last of Haggard's works published during his lifetime. A romantic and mystic novel, set in Old Egypt, following the daughter of the legitimate King who is forced to flee the tyranny of the People of the Dawn. Written by Sir Henry Rider Haggard, an English writer of adventure fiction romances set in exotic locations and a pioneer of the lost world literary genre. Dated from the "best sellers" list on the dust wrapper. In the original full red cloth binding. Externally, very smart with minor bumping to the extremities. Original unclipped dust wrapper is also smart with light wear and minor chipping to the extremities. The odd small closed tear and minor sunning to the spine. Sympathetic repairs made with tape to the internal side of the wrap to the head and tail of the spine. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are bright with age toning to the extremities. Very Good Indeed
