Considered one of the classic novels of imaginative literature, and with over 80 million copies sold in 44 different languages, She ranks alongside King Solomon's Mines as H. Rider Haggard's most successful and influential novel. Told in first-person narrative, the story follows the journey of Horace Holly and his ward Leo Vincey to a lost kingdom in the African interior.
