Sir Henry Rider Haggard was an English writer of adventure novels set mostly in Africa, and a founder of the Lost World literary genre. Fair Margaret tells the inspiring story of a beautiful English maiden named Margaret, who faces hardship during the opening phases of the Spanish Inquisition in the late 1400's. As Margaret and her family struggle to live in peace, they soon find themselves in the midst of a series of perilous adventures. Benita bears all the hallmarks of a classic Haggard's story. Readers will be pleased to discover an adventure of the supernatural, lost and hidden peoples and stupendous treasure that is a compelling 'page turner' to its conclusion. |
