1924 Heu-Heu, or The Monster
What Our Customers Say...
Description
Early Edition, Publishers' Original Binding, Very Scarce, With Dustwrapper
The second edition of H. Rider Haggard's novel, in the publisher's original price unclipped dust wrapper. Contemporary copies of this work in dust wrappers are very scarce.
Haggard's novel features a legend about a giant gorilla monster, to which young women are sacrificed. Due to the similarities in topic, some have suggested the novel may have inspired 1933's 'King Kong'.
Undated; dated 1924 - the same year as the first edition - via LibraryHub.
