Originally written as a project for Manchester University's Certificate of Egyptology course, Rider Haggard and Egypt is an exhaustive account of the author and agriculturist Sir Henry Rider Haggard's (1856-1925) keen interest in the Land of the Pharaohs, and covers:

Rider Haggard and Egypt, is in A4 size paperback with high quality paper, colour dustwrapper and many illustrations in black and white. All articles and letters on Egypt known to be written by Haggard, whose most famous novels are the immortal She and King Solomon's Mines, are reprinted in this book; much of this material is published for the first time or has been out of print for over seventy years.

SMITH AND THE PHARAOHS, a short story by Haggard with the original illustrations from the Strand Magazine has been included in this book.

"Enthusiasm for her subject glows through her pages ... gives a remarkable and loving distillation of all his Egyptian novels. After perusing this remarkable work, I am sure the reader will be as impressed as I have been at the results of Shirley Addy's labours." - Cmdr Mark Cheyne

"The author has provided a uniquely interesting description of Rider Haggard that should make a valuable addition both to Egyptological studies relating to travellers and tourists who visited Egypt, and to biographcial accounts of Rider Haggard." - Prof Rosalie David
