'Benita' was first published in 1906. Written by Sir Henry Rider Haggard, an English writer of adventure fiction romances set in exotic locations and a pioneer of the lost world literary genre.

In the publisher's cloth binding, with the original, unclipped dust wrapper. Externally, excellent, with light shelf wear. Light offsetting to endpapers, with an ink inscription to the front endpaper. Light spotting to fore edge. Dust wrapper is very good, with light edge wear and the odd closed tear.

Very Good Indeed
