King Solomon's Mines by H. Rider Haggard CHAPTER I I MEET SIR HENRY CURTIS It is a curious thing that at my age--fifty-five last birthday--I should find myself taking up a pen to try to write a history. I wonder what sort of a history it will be when I have finished it, if ever I come to the end of the trip! I have done a good many things in my life, which seems a long one to me, owing to my having begun work so young, perhaps. At an age when other boys are at school I was earning my living as a trader in the old Colony. I have been trading, hunting, fighting, or mining ever since.

It is a big pile now that I have got it--I don't yet know how big--but I do not think I would go through the last fifteen or sixteen months again for it; no, not if I knew that I should come out safe at the end, pile and all.

Reviewer: Dan_H - 4/2/2007 19:07Subject: Very Fun! This was a very entertaining story and the reader did an excellent job! If you like death defying adventure tales you should love this one. One of the things that I love about Haggard's book is the introduction and use of native African language. |
Reviewer: FNH - 3/13/2009 12:36Subject: Free Audio Review This is an adventure tail in the classic form. It is exciting and full of action, from fending off wild animals right through to terrible battles. The characters are well developed and you get to feel for them as they go through their various struggles. What struggles they are! Perhaps the story takes a little while to get going, but it's not long and it's worth the wait because you will find yourself drawn into the book scene by scene. Well worth a listen, and very well read. If you want to read more of my reviews of free audio found on the web visit http://FreeAudioReview.blogspot.com |
