The 12th volume of my H. Rider Haggard Anthology, with the following books:
1. Pearl-Maiden: A fantasy adventure story set in Jerusalem at the time of its destruction by Rome in 70 AD.
2. Stella Fregelius: Supernatural love story, invention of a device that induces telepathy between sympathetic parties, and ultimately leads to communication with the dead. The characters emotional lives and turmoils parallel Rider's actual experiences, this being his most autobiographically inclined of all his novels, with many deeply personal passages.
3. The Brethren: A medieval supernatural romance of Saladin and the Crusades, one of Haggard's best stories, even though not as widely known or appreciated as his African fantasies
4. Fair Margaret (Illustrated!): A Swashbuckling romance of old Spain.
As always, enjoy!
