Haggard's first book was not a novel, but his study of the recent events in Zululand (the Anglo-Zulu War) and the Transvaal (including annexation and the First Anglo-Boer War). This is the new and cheaper edition of this highly collectable item of Africana. Orignally published in 1882 in a small edition, this edition has an extensive new introduction of 62 pages, mainly updating the author's observations on and concerns for the Zulu people. This introduction makes this an important addition to Haggard collections.

Original blue cloth. 314 pages. Bookplates of Havelock William Kinsey & Dennis Gordon on fep and ffep. A clean copy in a solid binding.
