The King of the Snakes and other Folklore Stories From Uganda
R3250
Step into the mysterious and evocative world of early 20th-century fantasy with this first edition of The King of the Snakes by Rosetta Baskerville, published in 1922. A captivating blend of folklore, myth, and early feminist undertones, this novel has become a cult classic among collectors of vintage fantasy literature.
Baskerville’s atmospheric prose and eerie, snake-haunted landscapes have drawn comparisons to the works of Arthur Machen and Algernon Blackwood. Long out of print and increasingly scarce, The King of the Snakes is a haunting tale that explores transformation, power, and the ancient forces lurking just beneath the surface of the natural world.
