The Spirit of Bambatse (aka Benita) by H Rider Haggard (1906,HB reprint)

Description: The Spirit of Bambatse A Romance UK Title Benita An African Romance by H. Rider Haggard Frontispiece by Gordon Browne Second Printing? by McKinlay, Stone & Mackenzie Description: Hardback book published by McKinlay, Stone & Mackenzie in 1906 (maybe). McKinlay seems to have been a cheap hardback reprint publisher and I've seen information that the copyright dates on their books were from the editions they copied and may have nothing to do with their actual production. Still, this is a decent hardback reading copy of one of Haggard's books. About the book: The novel was first published in serial form in Cassell's Magazine in the December 1905 through May 1906 issues; the first hardcover edition followed from Cassell & Company, London, 7 September 1906.[2] Cassell reissued the title in 1920 and 1926. Subsequent British editions were published by Chariot Books in 1952 and Macdonald & Co. in 1965. An ebook edition was issued by Project Gutenberg in March 2006. The first U.S. edition was published by Longmans, Green and Co. in 1906 under the alternate title The Spirit of Bambatse, A Romance, which was Haggard's preferred title and was used for most later American editions.[2][3] The significance of the collection was recognized by its republication (also as The Spirit of Bambatse) by the Newcastle Publishing Company as the twenty-second volume of the Newcastle Forgotten Fantasy Library series in October, 1979. The Newcastle edition was reissued by Wildside Press in February 2001. Synopsis: A romance, a shipwreck and a hunt for buried Portuguese treasure in the Transvaal. All the ingredients of an imperial adventure that made Haggard one of the best-selling authors of the early years of the twentieth century. Also published as Benita: An African Romance, The Spirit of Bambatse has been reprinted several times, notably as the 22nd volume of the celebrated Newcastle Forgotten Fantasy series in 1979. - Summary by Phil Benson Condition Binding - acceptable, minor spine lean, top and bottom of spine bumped, corners bumped, moderate edgewear, previous owners name and a bookstore inscription on the front free endpaper, top page edges age darkened/soiled and spotted, side and bottom page edges s little soiled, page surfaces clean, book is intact with no loose or missing pages.
