HAGGARD, H. Rider (Sir Henry Rider), 1856-1925 : AYESHA : THE RETURN OF SHE. London : Ward Lock & Co., 1905. First edition. As Haggard points out in his prefatory note, not so much a sequel to “She” as the conclusion to his famous tale – a conclusion he had deliberately waited twenty years to write. He also points out that the correct pronunciation is “Assha”. SOLD |

HAGGARD, H. Rider (Sir Henry Rider), 1856-1925 : THE IVORY CHILD. London : Cassell & Co., (1916). First edition. “One of the strangest of all the adventures which have befallen me in the course of a life that so far can scarcely be called tame or humdrum” – in the Allan Quatermain series, and “is especially welcome on that account. But more than this, it is the best and greatest of the series. It is never less than delightful, and for the greater part is profoundly thrilling” (Western Mail, 15th January 1916). £100 To purchase, call us or e-mail us at books@ashrare.com quoting stock number 35668 – or simply click on the button
