The People Of The Mist
by H. Rider Haggard
Leonard Outram, a young Englishman who has just lost his fortune at the hands of the bride, swears: he will win his home and live happily ever after. Really! Well, sort of. Leonard finds himself in Africa, a place to reclaim his wealth for the gods of fate at those times in history. Leonard rescues the servant from the slave trader - for a fee, of course! – and then he falls in love with her, making it difficult for the devil to get out of his position. Well: A great adventure arises, taking them to places where no one has ever heard of them, then or now - which leads to narrow escapes, love, intrigues and, of course, high adventures.
