H. Rider Haggard, master tale-spinner of African adventure, here turns his pen toward tales of love, magic, and victorious faith, including the title story, "Black Heart and White Heart," as well as "Elissa," and "The Wizard". Excerpt from Black Heart and White Heart, and Other Stories To the Memory of the Child Nada Burnham, who "bound all to her" and, while her father cut his way through the hordes of the Ingobo Regiment, perished of the hardships of war at Buluwayo on 19th May, 1896, I dedicate these tales - and more particularly the last, that of a Faith which triumphed over savagery and death.
