Overview
A classic lost world fantasy novel first published in 1894, The People of the Mist is an exciting story about a British adventurer who goes to Africa to seek his fortune, but who finds love and a legendary tribe who worship a giant crocodile god. When Leonard Outram loses both his inheritance and his fiancée he determines to go to Africa. With his Zulu companion, Otter, he saves a young Portuguese woman, Juanna Rodd, from slavery and together they go in search of the "People of the Mist," who are said to possess a hoard of fabulous jewels. When they find them, the trio is plunged into the midst of a power-struggle between the king and the priests of the crocodile god.
