Allan and the Ice Gods by H. Rider Haggard

Description

Allan and the Ice Gods is a book by H. Rider Haggard, first published in 1927. Part of the long-running Allan Quatermain series, it stands as one of the later instalments, weaving adventure, mysticism, and speculative prehistory into a single narrative. Haggard, already celebrated for shaping the classic “lost world” tradition, uses this volume to explore themes of memory, human origins, and the endurance of the heroic spirit. The story follows famed adventurer Allan Quatermain as he experiences a visionary journey into a distant prehistoric age. Through this extraordinary dream-vision, he encounters early human societies, dramatic natural landscapes, and the timeless struggles that shape civilisation. Characters such as Wi and Lalelee serve as focal points within this primeval world, offering insight into survival, loyalty, and the roots of cultural identity. Readers who enjoy prehistoric fiction, classic adventure tales, or early works of imaginative storytelling will find the book both engaging and thought-provoking. Its blend of adventure, mythology, and early fantasy makes it a compelling entry in the Quatermain saga.
