About this book
While many of H. Rider Haggard's acclaimed action-adventure tales take place in exotic locations, Colonel Quaritch, V.C. unfolds in the author's own backyard. After leaving active service, a decorated officer moves back to his ancestral village. Instead of finding the peace and quiet he was seeking, however, life in this "e;quaint"e; community proves to be just as dramatic as his days on the battlefield. Fans of Victorian domestic dramas will delight in this rollicking tale.
