I am happy to report that, with my posting of Sir Henry Rider Haggard's fascinating autobiography, "The Days of My Life", my posting of Haggard's (pretty much) complete works is now completed. There are 16 volumes of the "Haggard Anthology" (containing approximately 60 novels), plus the autobiography. Should be enough to keep people going for a while, at least

.

Haggard is one of my favourite authors. Hopefully these postings will serve in a small way to bring him back to the attention of some modern readers who may be unaware of his books. He didn't write great literature, but he certainly knew how to write a gripping adventure story.

The only works of Haggard that I've not posted are some (to my mind) rather tedious works of non fiction (eg a book on the state of the British agricultural industry) that he wrote while working for the British government in various roles. These are all described in his autobiography, for those interesting in learning what they are.

I will try and revise the earlier volumes that I posted over time - in those early days I didn't know nearly as much about how to produce a nice-looking book as I do now.
