About this listen

 Step with us beyond the edge of the known world.

The Rider Haggard Library invites you into realms of lost kingdoms and deathless queens, of perilous quests beneath African suns and ancient cities long swallowed by the sands of Time. Here burn the undying flames of romance and destiny; here brave hearts wager life and soul against treasure, prophecy, and the dark mysteries of forgotten ages. In these readings, the great tales are restored to living voice, not as relics upon a dusty shelf, but as living adventures, wherein courage is tested, empires tremble, and Fate walks close beside the traveller.

Come, then. The map is drawn. The flame yet burns. And the road into the unknown lies open before you.Public domain
