Finished reading the novel SHE by H. Rider Haggard. Since this book was first published 128 years ago it has never been out of print. It's about a journey three Englishmen made to 19th century east Africa to find out about an ancient family history. Adventures, misadventures, tragedy, and a living 2,000 year-old-white queen combine to make the story interesting.
When I was 11 years old I borrowed SHE from the Uitvlugt Community Centre Library but couldn't understand anything and returned it mostly unread. Now, 53 years later I decided to borrow it from the Toronto Public Library and I like the story so much I wonder why it took me so long to get my hands on it.
