Publisher's Synopsis
Benita: An African Romance (alternatively titled The Spirit of Bambatse) is a novel by H. Rider Haggard.This all-but-forgotten work by the master of the "lost race" adventure story has just about everything a reader could possibly hope for in a book: a treasure hunt, battles between African tribes, a plucky heroine, a shipwreck, an insane Jewish villain, the ghost of a 17th century Portuguese woman, mesmerism and even a nice romantic love story.
