SINOPSIS:
SIR HENRY RIDER HAGGARD (1856-1925) was born in Norfolk, and educated at Ipswich. When he was nineteen he went to South Africa as secretary to de Governor of Natal; after four years he became an important oficial in the High Court of the Transsvaal. He returned to England in 1879, and married Mariana Margitson. They had four children.
He became a lawyer in England, and tried in vain to enter Parliament. From 1912 to 1917 he travelled widely, as a member of a committee on the Dominions (Australia, Canada, etc.), but in spite of his other interests, it was in writing that his name was made.
He wrote more tan a dozen novels, the best known of wich are King Solomon’s Mines, Allan Quatermain, She, and Montezuma’s Daughter.
All are stories of exciting adventure, and Rider Haggard’s characters often prefer doing things: they are always either very Good or very bad: he rarely imagines characters who are between the two, as are most people in real life.
