       Table of Contents

      I have for a long while hoped to be allowed to dedicate some book of mine to you, and now I bring you this work, because whatever its shortcomings, and whatever judgment may be passed upon it by yourself and others, it is yet the one I should wish you to accept.

      Your affectionate and dutiful Son,

      H. Rider Haggard.
