When Brother John, a man known for wandering around Africa for
years, tells Allan Quatermain about a rare and gorgeous orchid
hidden in the wild flora of Africa, Quatermain is determined to
find one. When he does, he travels to England and meets Stephen
Somers, who collects special flowers. Somers was eager to buy the
orchid, but after a mix up at an auction, he finds himself in
trouble with his family. Nevertheless, Somers still desperately
wants one of the African orchids, and offers to accompany
Quatermain and finance the journey to recover another flower. Never
one to turn down an expedition, Quatermain agrees, and together,
they begin their expedition in Africa, determined to find the
orchid that Brother John had described as the largest flower in the
region. However, as their adventure unfolds, the men face
unanticipated struggles. While they continue their search, the men
must work together and think quick to survive the unexpected,
trekking through land unknown, fighting battles, leading rescue
missions, and navigating daunting encounters with cannibals, slave
traders, and a giant gorilla. Filled with thrilling action, narrow
escapes, and wonderful descriptions, Allan and the Holy Flower by
H. Rider Haggard is a page-turning 19th century adventure novel.
Set in colonial Africa, Haggard includes a setting that is not
often depicted in English literature. First published in 1915,
Allan and the Holy Flower remains to be a fresh and thrilling
action- adventure, delighting audiences with its quick pace and
nail-biting conflicts. Written in imaginative, yet accessible
prose, Allan and the Holy Flower is a classic adventure novel
perfect for all ages. This edition of Allan and the Holy Flower by
H. Rider Haggard features a striking new cover design and is
printed in a font that is both modern and readable. With these
accommodations, Allan and the Holy Flower caters to a contemporary
audience while preserving the original innovation and adventure of
H. Rider Haggard's work.
