Bring Back Rider Haggard!

Turner, Ann

Use of English, v31 n3 p28-36 Sum 1980

Discusses some of the novels of Sir Henry Rider Haggard (1856-1925), pointing out that their "simplicity and directness, mythic grandeur, and lack of sentimentality" could make them popular classics for today's children. Urges teachers to introduce Haggard's books to their students. (GT)
