Off to Africa

Not really, but I just finished another Henry Rider Haggard novel. This one was "King Solomon's Mines." Once more it was based in Africa with Allan Quartermain and his aides venturing into uncharted reaches of the center of the continent to discover the infamous King Solomon's Mines, a repository of a legendarily huge treasure. The journey is full of peril and excitement. Including a tribal war with the Kukuanas who were ruled by King Twala and the witch Gagool. To top it off it was a free download from Kindle and it fulfills another of my "1001 Books to Read Before I Die."
