""Allan and the Holy Flower"" is an adventure novel written by H. Rider Haggard. The story follows Allan Quatermain, a British explorer, and his companions as they journey to find a rare orchid known as the Holy Flower. The flower is said to have magical properties and is sought after by a powerful African tribe called the She. Allan and his team face numerous challenges and dangers along the way, including treacherous terrain, hostile tribes, and deadly animals. The novel is set in Africa and features vivid descriptions of the landscape and wildlife. Along with the adventure and excitement, the book also explores themes of colonialism and cultural clashes. Overall, ""Allan and the Holy Flower"" is a thrilling tale of exploration and discovery in a dangerous and exotic land.Now I, the listener, thought for a moment or two. The words of this fighting savage, Mavovo, even those of them of which I had heard only the translation, garbled and beslavered by the mean comments of the unutterable Sammy, stirred my imagination. Who was I that I should dare to judge of him and his wild, unknown gifts? Who was I that I should mock at him and by my mockery intimate that I believed him to be a fraud?This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
