King Solomon’s Mines (Annotated)
An African Romance
A faded map, copied from the hand of a dying traveller, marks a road northward across country from which no man is known to have returned. When Sir Henry Curtis asks Allan Quatermain to guide an expedition in search of a lost brother, the old hunter agrees; with Captain Good and the enigmatic Umbopa they go north — through thirst, battle, kingship, witchcraft and the fatal seduction of buried wealth.
