It was almost full of uncut diamonds. We stood and gazed at them. Hee heel heel laughed old Gagool behind us. There are the bright stones that you love. Take them in your fingers. Eat them hee hee Drink them ha ha T Africa the early 1880s. Allan Quatermain Sir Henry Curtis and Captain John Good have travelled a long way over difficult country to the strange hidden land of the Kukuanas. They have escaped death in many different ways. Now deep inside a mountain they are looking at King Solomon s treasure. There are enough diamonds there to make them the richest men in the world. But Gagool laughs. Gagool the witch is older than anybody s living memory and she laughs because she has a plan. The men have the diamonds but they will not leave the treasure room. Or will they Allan Quatermain has lived in Africa for years as a hunter not a writer. But he tells us this story because he thinks that others should know about this terrible adventure. Quatermain has many qualities that British people of the late nineteenth century admired but the real hero of the book is Sir Henry Curtis. He has come to South Africa with his friend Captain John Good to find his lost brother. Sir Henry is a true gentleman and a better fighting man than Quatermain. Haggard the real writer of this book admired these qualities strangely he did not really admire writers. When Sir Henry asks Quatermain to help him Quatermain does the job for money. He cannot afford to be a true gentleman. While the real men of that time were outside killing and dying weaker men spent their time in the company of women. Rider Haggard did marry but he was always rather shy with women. This may explain why there are only two female characters in the book and one of them is Gagool a horrible old witch. The other an African woman called Foulata falls in love with Captain Good. Good is less of a hero than Curtis or even Quatermain and he also falls in love with her. A
