Synopsis
Allan Quartermain returns in another adventure! After he finds an illusive and rare orchid from Africa, he returns to England with Mr. Scroope. While he visits Lord Randall, two foreigners come asking for Macumazana -- that is, asking for Allan Quartermain by the name he used umong the Africans. The two visitors are Harut and Marut, priests and doctors of the White Kendah People, and they have come to ask Allan Quartermain for his help. The White Kendah people are at war with the Black Kendah people who have an evil spirit for a god. And that spirit of the god resides in the largest elephant they have ever seen, an elephant that no man can kill -- save Allan Quartermain. And now our intrepid hero must return to Africa and destroy this evil spirit before it kills every one of the White Kendah People. H. Rider Haggard was an English author known for his fantastic adventure stories as well as his sympathetic portrayal of native peoples. He is best known for creating the fictional character Allan Quartermain, a character that has been resurrected as a comic book hero in The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen.

The Ivory Child is the sequel to The Holy Flower and the ninth novel in the Allan Quartermain series.

The Ivory Child

First of all it was a suprise to find this book as I thought it was out of print. This was a traditional adventure book that was difficult to put down. The text was easy to read and nice and large.
