Michael Herring’s covers for H. Rider Haggard’s She and the sequels. It’s often said that Frankenstein was the first science fiction novel. If so, H. Rider Haggard’s Victorian African adventure “She” was the first fantasy novel…phantasmagorical, weird, imperialist, surreal, centered on reincarnation and dream like imagery, and engrossing. The money Haggard got from this he used to finance the creation of the modern Tarot deck. The image of She, in the fire, undestroyed, may be one of the most famous in all fantasy fiction. -- source link
