H. Rider Haggard unleashes another full-throttle action-adventure tale, this one set during biblical times. Readers who appreciate a richly rendered historical setting, strong characters of integrity, and plenty of captivating action will delight in Pearl-Maiden. Lauded by many as one of the greatest storytellers of the Victorian period, H. Rider Haggard is best remembered for his action-adventure tales set in exotic foreign lands, a formula he milks to full effect in the thrilling page-turner Queen Sheba's Ring. It's a must-read for fans who can't get enough of Haggard's inimitable style.
