She
Description:
The Victorian equivalent of a blockbuster. This is a thrilling tale of a female that is decidedly more deadly than the male.
A note from The Editor:
I feel it incumbent upon me to explain how this wonderful and mysterious history found its way into my hands. I received a letter and two parcels -- one a manuscript, the other containing a scarab and an ancient sherd -- from a brief acquaintance of mine called Mr Horace Holly. The contents of these packages astonished me considerably. Mr Holly and his ward Leo Vincey had passed through a most uncommon African adventure, a tale of a nature so marvellous that I fear the reader might disbelieve it. To me the story seems to bear the stamp of truth upon its face. But I must leave the reader to form his own judgment on the facts before him as detailed by Mr. Holly. And with this explanation I introduce the world to Ayesha -- She-who-must-be-obeyed -- and the Caves of Kôr.
