Rider Haggard - Wikipedia .html text/html 4994 608 74 Sir Henry Rider Haggard KBE (/ˈhæɡərd/; 22 June 1856 – 14 May 1925) was an English writer of adventure fiction set in exotic locations, predominantly Africa, and a pioneer of the lost world literary genre.[1] He was also involved in agricultural reform throughout the British Empire. He created his Allan Quatermain adventures under their influence, during a time when great mineral wealth was being discovered in Africa, as well as the ruins of ancient lost civilisations of the continent, such as Great Zimbabwe.[11][12] Three of his books, The Wizard (1896), Black Heart and White Heart; a Zulu Idyll (1896), and Elissa; the Doom of Zimbabwe (1898), are dedicated to Burnham's daughter Nada, the first white child born in Bulawayo; she had been named after Haggard's 1892 book Nada the Lily.[13] Haggard belonged to the Athenaeum, Savile, and Authors' clubs.[14] ./cache/en-wikipedia-org-9599.html ./txt/en-wikipedia-org-9599.txt
