Faced with supernatural forces, dangerous wildlife, and treacherous terrain, Quatermain and his companions must use their wits and courage to survive.

Published in 1916, The Ivory Child is a thrilling tale of adventure, mysticism, and the enduring struggle between good and evil.

"It is enough to say that when Allan Quatermain, in the opening sentence of his narrative, speaks of this as 'one of the strangest of all the adventures which have befallen me in the course of a life, that so far can scarcely be called tame or humdrum, ' he is well within the mark . . . handled in Sir Rider Haggard's best manner." --The Spectator, London
