Inhaltsangabe

H. Rider Haggard wrote the book She and Allan, which was first released in 1921. It brought together his two most well-known characters, Allan Quatermain from King Solomon's Mines and Ayesha from She (to which it serves as a prologue). The novel also has Umslopogaas from Nada the Lily as a significant character. She and Allan, along with the other three books in the series, were made into the 1935 movie She. In September 1975, the Newcastle Publishing Company reissued it as the sixth installment of the Newcastle Forgotten Fantasy Library series. Zikali, a Zulu witch doctor who says he can connect with the dead, is someone Allan Quatermain wants to see. He meets Umslopogaas, a formidable Zulu warrior chieftain, along the way. They arrive at a distant community called "Strathmuir," which is managed by a drunken ex-marine commander. Ayesha is located camped out among the remains of the ancient city of Kôr, and Allan is asked to meet her. He is able to withstand her allure and maintains his skepticism about her claims that she is immortal throughout the entire novel. After a few days, Robertson leaves the camp in search of the rebel Armahagger keeping Inez hostage.
