Puffin Classics - the definitive collection of timeless stories, for every child

Rediscover the Puffin Classics collection and bring the best-loved classics to a new generation, including this thrilling edition of King Solomon's Mines.

Following a mysterious ancient map, a small group of men trek into southern Africa in search of a lost friend and the fabled diamond mines of King Solomon. Led by the intrepid English adventurer and fortune hunter Allan Quartermain, they discover a frozen corpse, survive untold dangers in remote mountains and deserts, and encounter the merciless King Twala en route to the legendary hoard of diamonds.

One of the bestselling novels of the 19th century and the inspiration for countless adventure stories, including Indiana Jones, this is a must-read for lovers of lost worlds.
