    Description

    First Edition, Illustrated, Publishers' Original Binding

    H. Rider Haggard (1856-1925) was an English novelist primarily known for his works of adventure fiction, including 'She' and 'King Solomon's Mines'. The majority of his works have exotic settings, primarily Africa, and he was an extremely prolific writer, producing over fifty novels, three short story collections and a number of non-fiction works and works published in periodicals. His works have been adapted for screen many times, with this work made into a 1922 South African film.

    'Swallow' is set in South Africa during the Boer Trek of 1836.

    This is a first edition.

    With eight full-plate illustrations, including a frontispiece. Collated, complete.

    Condition

    In the publisher's original full cloth binding. Externally generally smart, with a few stains to the boards and the spine, which is bumped to the head and tail, a little cocked. Internally, generally firmly bound. Pages are bright and clean with just the odd spot.

    Very Good
