List of works by H. Rider Haggard

 * Nominator(s): SchroCat (talk) 07:40, 6 April 2015 (UTC)

H. Rider Haggard was a prolific and high-profile English writer, probably best known for his Allan Quatermain series of stories. He wrote much, much more besides, and his output included 56 novels, 3 short-story collections and nearly 100 letters to The Times. He was also an expert on land management and agricultural reform and wrote several non-fictional books on the subject, which added to his works on South Africa and the Zulus, about which he was knowledgeable following his time in the country.

This is a fresh bibliography, made partly from a limited one on the main Rider Haggard article, but greatly expanded and now brought into line with MOS requirements, and fully sourced throughout. All comments are welcome. – SchroCat (talk) 07:40, 6 April 2015 (UTC)

Comment from Tim riley
 * I can't find a letter from Rider Haggard about Dr Barnardo's Homes in The Times of 16 November 1907.  Tim riley  talk    14:46, 6 April 2015 (UTC)
 * That's because it's not a letter! My source has that on page 5 there is a report on remarks he made on the subject. - SchroCat (talk) 15:00, 6 April 2015 (UTC)

Support – my only query being answered. This is an impeccable piece of work, and plainly meets FL criteria in my view.  Tim riley  talk    15:36, 6 April 2015 (UTC)


 * Many thanks Tim - your thoughts and your edits - are as appreciated as always. Cheers - SchroCat (talk) 15:43, 6 April 2015 (UTC)


 * Support The Rambling Man (talk) 18:29, 14 April 2015 (UTC)
 * " In 1911 he also served on the Royal Commission examining coastal erosion. He was also " -rep of he and also.♦ Dr. Blofeld  10:54, 7 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Yep - good spot. I've tweaked the section a little, which gets rid of the duplication. - SchroCat (talk) 11:07, 7 April 2015 (UTC)

Support An excellent list, I recognize a few film titles in there which were based on those books, I wasn't aware of some of them!♦ Dr. Blofeld  11:17, 7 April 2015 (UTC)


 * Comment - You know, just reading the lead I didn't get the impression that Allan Quatermain was a series, nor did I realize that he wrote short stories. This should probably be made a bit more explicit in the lead. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 13:14, 17 April 2015 (UTC)
 * A couple of tweaks made, which should cover it - let me know if you think it needs any more, or should be done differently. Cheers - SchroCat (talk) 14:23, 17 April 2015 (UTC)
