Allan's Wife
"Allan's Wife" by H. Rider Haggard is a collection of Allan Quatermain stories first published in 1889. The title novella reveals Quatermain's early life and marriage to Stella, mother of his son Harry.

Together, these adventures chronicle the formative experiences that shaped one of literature's most celebrated adventurers.
