Writing from his papers after his death, Allan Quatermain recalls a boyhood on the frontier, a Zulu attack on a trekking laager, and a long hunt northward that brings him to Stella, a girl raised in a hidden valley of marble kraals. Shadowing them is Hendrika, the half-wild ‘Baboon-Woman’ whose jealousy grows dangerous.
