New York: Ballantine Books, 1973. Vintage Paperback, Ballantine 23660: H. Rider Haggard, a prolific writer of adventure fantasy from the late 19th into the early 20th century, is credited with creating the "lost race" sub-genre with the publication of "King Solomon's Mines" in 1885 and "She" in 1886. "The People of the Mist" from 1894 is another example of Haggard's ability to meld high adventure "reality" with a tale of a lost culture in the heart of ancient, savage Africa, all of it a fantasy invented by the author. This edition, from Ballantine's Adult Fantasy Series, with cover art by Dean Ellis, includes an introduction by Lin Carter. Pictorial wrappers show a small tear on the fold between front cover and lower end of spine, reading creases and minor surface and edge wear, o/w no significant flaws or damage. The text is clean and unmarked, tight, with a very slight spine lean. A very decent reading/study copy. . First Printing, First Paperback Edition. Mass Market Paperback.
