H. Rider Haggard founded a whole school of fantasy writing which eventually came to be known as "the lost race novel." His output was prodigious, and starting with "King Solomon's Mines" he continued for years to produce one fabulously exciting fantasy after another. His writing is so authentic that many people sought the "lost" mines and races which he invented. THE PEOPLE OF THE MIST is a tale of high adventure—a lost culture in the heart of the ancient, savage Africa that Haggard knew and loved so well.

First Sentence

"The January afternoon was passing into night, the air was cold and still, so still that not a single twig of the naked beech-trees stirred; on the grass of the meadows lay a thin white rime, half frost, half snow; the firs stood out blackly against a steel-hued sky, and over the tallest of them hung a single star."
