Summary
King Solomon's Mines, first published in 1885, was a best-selling novel by the Victorian adventure writer H. Rider Haggard. It relates a journey into the heart of Africa by a group of adventurers led by Allan Quatermain in search of the legendary wealth said to be concealed in the mines of the novel's title. It is significant as the first fictional adventure novel set in Africa, and is considered the genesis of the Lost World literary genre. - Haggard wrote over 50 books, among which were 14 novels starring Allan Quatermain.

I downloaded this version of King Solomon's Mines but didn't even make it through the first chapter before giving up on this one to download the same title narrated by a different person. John Nicholson sighs and drones his way through the narrative as if he is bored and tired. It's a personal preference I'm sure, but I couldn't bear to listen to the entire book this way.

I loved the story but was disappointed that it was fiction. As a South African working in mining I would have like to follow on a journey where more details were based on fact rather than fiction

An old tale but well written and narrated

This book made me sick! Killing elephants and other wildlife in droves! I know it was another time, but I just couldn’t bear listening anymore.

I enjoyed listening to the story. My mind drifted to the adventure. The narrator moved the story along like silk.
