Book excerpt: King Solomon's Mines is the narrative of Allan Quatermain, elephant hunter and explorer, and his adventures in the company of Danish man of action Sir Henry Curtis and Royal Navy officer Captain Good. Sir Henry Curtis hires Quatermain to use his knowledge of Africa and his skills as a hunter to lead an expedition in search of Sir Henry's lost brother, George Neville. George vanished while seeking the long-lost diamond mines of King Solomon in an unexplored part of Africa. The possibility of riches, along with a stipulation that Sir Henry will provide for Quatermain's medical student son should he meet his end, persuades Quatermain to take the job.
