Allan Quatermain, visiting England to give a shooting lesson, falls in with two mysterious priests, Harût and Marût, and with Lord Ragnall and the young woman he means to marry. A kidnapping drags them all back to Africa, to the White Kendah and their sacred Ivory Child, and to war with the Black Kendah who worship Jana, a monstrous elephant god.
Late Quatermain adventure from 1916, full of ritual, ambush and big-game peril; its picture of Africa carries the imperial attitudes of its day. Download the free EPUB.
