- – That was C. S. Lewis’s verdict.
Having read about twenty of Haggard’s novels, I thought this one was unusual in having a bickering couple for the like interest, honestly frequent references to Leonard or Juanna being annoyed, etc. The pleased ending is rather muted. Also, while Leonard is basically in the usual Haggard mold of physically strong hero, for reasonably a lot of the book he is passive, reacting to events. A third difference is that the book is nearly free of the spiritualistic musings that one finds in many of Haggard’s books. There’s virtually no supernatural element here, too.
In the second half, things maybe drag just a leetle, but I have to say that Haggard pays us off well with that amazingly cinematic climax!
Ballantine reprinted a few Haggard novels in the Seventies (two in its Adult Fantasy series — this one and The World’s Desire, which I don’t remember very well); it is much better than When the World Shook, which has pages of talk — which was obviously much simpler to write than the narration and description that are lavishly deployed here.

Although not of the Allan Quartermain storyline, which has some fantastic novels, and not one of Haggard’s more legendary novels, I view “People of the Mist” as the best novel that Haggard ever wrote. I have read it several times and it is still fresh and exciting.

If you like Tolkien, you will like this book. Haggard was one of Tolkien’s favorite authors, and this book is Haggard’s best, in my estimation.
Was “Tattoo” of “Fantasy Island” based on the character “Otter?” They both say “baas” in reference to their employer.

This was a lucky find for me. I had never heard of Henry Rider Haggard until I read THE PEOPLE OF THE MIST! It is a perfectly written masterpiece. My favorite character has to be Otter a native of Africa. He is uneducated but has fantastic insight into the problems the group is faced with. The four main characters are so completely developed that you feel like you know them. They confront African slavers and defeat them to rescue and free the slaves from the slave compound. This is the final step that takes the group the the land of The People of The Mist and possibly the treasures of King Solomon’s mines!
The descriptions of Africa are perfectly done. The suspense is high and keeps you turning the pages. This is a book worth reading more than once. To reflect, I may not have bought it not having heard of the book or Henry Rider Haggard, but it was free on Kindle. Thank you, Amazon.
