Sir Henry Rider Haggard was an English writer of adventure novels set mostly in Africa, and a founder of the Lost World literary genre. This volume contains three famous novels by Haggard. "The Wizard" is a book about adventures and the nature of miracles that could be enjoyed by both adults and children alike. In "Elissa" Haggard takes his readers to the Phoenician city in South Central Africa, a trading town that was built by civilized men. And in "Black Heart and White Heart", the author mounts once more those trusty steeds of his, the nobility of the savage and the rascality of the civilized white.
