    Description

    Publishers' Original Binding, With Dustwrapper

    First published in 1915, and also known by the title 'Allan and the Holy Flower', this copy retains the original scarce price clipped dust wrapper.

    The plot involves Quatermain going on a trek into Africa to find a mysterious flower, where he encounters Arabian slave traders, warrior tribes, cannibals, and a giant gorilla.

    Undated; dated circa 1932 via the list of titles to the dust wrapper rear wrap.
