Allan's Wife: A Tale of Quatermain's Marriage

How Quatermain married: Stella Carson, a girl he knew as a child, found again years later far in the interior, and Hendrika, the baboon-woman, who will not share Stella with anyone. Haggard went to South Africa at nineteen and helped raise the Union Jack over the Transvaal; this 1889 novella fills in the wife Quatermain mentions only in passing in the last pages of Allan Quatermain. Forty-two plates of African harbors, highland engagements, and quiet women, from Baines and Munch, follow Quatermain from Table Bay to the interior.
