Lady Luna and the Taduki Drug (Fantasy Trilogy) - Allan Quatermain Adventures: The Ivory Child The Ancient Allan & Allan and the Ice-gods

H. Rider Haggard

Sinopse

Lady Luna & the Taduki Drug is fantasy trilogy featuring Allan Quatermain, an English-born professional big game hunter and occasional trader living in South Africa.
"The Ivory Child" – While Quatermain visits Lord Ragnall, he receives a visit from Harut and Marut, priests and doctors of the White Kendah People who  come to ask him for help. The White Kendah people are at war with the Black Kendah people who have an evil spirit for a god. Quatermain must return to Africa and destroy this evil spirit before it kills every one of the White Kendah People. In the meanwhile, Harut and Marut present Lady Ragnall the taduki drug that induces visions of previous incarnations. These visions create special connection between Allan and Lady Ragnall.
"The Ancient Allan" concerns one of Allan Quatermain past lives. Allan and Lady Ragnall inhale taduki, a drug that induces visions of previous incarnations. Thus, Quartermain relives the experiences of ancient Egyptian aristocrat Shabaka (a descendant of the pharaoh of the same name)—alongside flashes of his earlier lives—and Luna those of Amada, an ancient priestess of Isis.
"Allan and the Ice-gods" – Allan feels awkward toward Lady Luna Ragnall after their recent taduki-induced vision in The Ancient Allan, in which they were nearly married, and he refuses three invitations from her to return for another vision and has vowed never to use the drug again. Few weeks later Allan has a psychic experience and later learns that Lady Ragnall had died of heart failure in the Temple of Isis. Allan inherits her estate and distributes it to charities except for a box containing the taduki drug which Lady Ragnall had left him. Captain John Good shows up and persuades Allan to use the drug and the two enter into their vision.

Lettice Galbraith - A Short...

Lettice Galbraith

Lettice Galbraith is yet another of those mysterious women of British literature of whom little was recorded. 
 
Lizzie Susan Gibson was born on the 27th January 1859 in Kingston-Upon-Hull in Yorkshire into a comfortable middle-class family. 
 
Her education was primarily private but at fifteen her father died, and life became rather different. 
 
After several years in London, she moved with her mother to Reigate in Surrey.   
 
In 1885 she published her first story anonymously and her pseudonym ‘Lettice Galbraith’ only appeared from late 1892. 
 
Although her canon of works is small, she mainly achieved her reputation on a single volume of ghost and supernatural stories entitled ‘New Ghost Stories’. 
 
After her mother’s death in 1901 she moved to London and continued to write, this time moving on from the short story to the novel, as well as reverting to her given name. 
 
For the last two decades of her life, she did not continue her literary career. 
 
Lettice Galbraith died on 8th July 1932 at Downe, then in Kent.  She was 73
