Synopsis

Dodo Collections brings you another classic from H. Rider Haggard, ‘The Ghost Kings.’   The Zulus have a strange story of a white girl who in Dingaans day was supposed to hold the spirit of some legendary goddess of theirs who is also white. This girl, they say, was very beautiful and brave, and had great power in the land before the battle of the Blood River, which they fought with the emigrant Boers. Her title was Lady of the Zulus, or more shortly, Zoola, which means Heaven. This is her story.   Sir Henry Rider Haggard was an English writer of adventure novels set in exotic locations, predominantly Africa, and the creator of the Lost World literary genre. His stories, situated at the lighter end of the scale of Victorian literature, continue to be popular and influential. He was also involved in agricultural reform and improvement in the British Empire.   His breakout novel was King Solomons Mines (1885), which was to be the first in a series telling of the multitudinous adventures of its protagonist, Allan Quatermain.   Haggard was made a Knight Bachelor in 1912 and a Knight Commander of the Order of the British Empire in 1919. He stood unsuccessfully for Parliament as a Conservative candidate for the Eastern division of Norfolk in 1895. The locality of Rider, British Columbia, was named in his memory.
