King Solomon & the Showman

The legendary lost city of southern Africa and its riches fascinated the Romans, European explorers, South Africa’s apartheid government, and writers such as Rider Haggard, Alan Paton, Wilbur Smith, and Lawrence Green. Adam Cruise sets out on a quest across the Kalahari to find the mythical city that inspired King Solomon’s Mines, and ‘the Great Farini’, the daredevil Victorian showman at the heart of the legend.
