About
H. Rider Haggard
Sir Henry Rider Haggard (1856-1925) was an English novelist and adventurer best known for his adventure novels set in exotic locations. Born into a wealthy Norfolk family, Haggard traveled extensively throughout Africa and the Middle East, which provided inspiration for his most famous works. He is best remembered for his novels "King Solomon's Mines" (1885) and "She" (1887), which established the "lost world" genre and were among the best-selling books of the Victorian era. Haggard's adventuresome spirit and vivid prose contributed to his critical and commercial success. He received a knighthood in 1912 for his literary achievements. Despite being considered a popular writer rather than a literary one, Haggard's works have endured and continue to be enjoyed by readers worldwide.
