Rider (Henry Rider) 1856 1925 Haggard, Rider Haggard, Henry Rider Queen Sheba's Ring John Bickers, Emma Dudding, Dagny and David Widger "Queen Sheba's Ring" by H. Rider Haggard is a novel likely written during the late 19th century. The story seems to revolve around Richard Adams, an old man and skilled doctor, who embarks on a dangerous journey across North Central Africa in search of his kidnapped son, Roderick. Along the way, he encounters interesting characters, including his friend, Professor Ptolemy Higgs, and Captain Oliver Orme, and together they are drawn into a web of adventure involving ancient history, treasure, and the mysterious Queen of Sheba. At the start of the narrative, we meet Richard Adams as he shares the background of Professor Higgs and their shared fascination with archaeology and antiquities. The opening chapter details Adams' recent return to London after many years abroad, during which he communicates with the professor about the strange adventures of their past. When Adams reveals a mysterious ring he obtained from a descendant of Solomon and the Queen of Sheba, Higgs becomes intrigued by the ring's significance. This conversation eventually sets the stage for their expedition to find Adams' son and confront threats from the Fung tribe, as well as a powerful idol that holds sway over the local people. The stakes are raised as they hope to save not only Roderick but also the lives of those around them by unraveling this historical enigma.
