Sir Henry Rider Haggard (1856-1925), author of "King Solomon's Mines", combines romance and exotic adventure in this novel of the Voortrekkers of 1836: Swallow is a Dutch girl raised in South Africa among the Kaffirs.

This set of Avon True Romance had 12 novels initially. Sadly, they are out of print and not so easy to find. This is a nice set of six of those paperback books in the Teen Romance genre by six different authors. Each book is about 250-300 pages long and each follows the romance of different pairs of characters. The titles and authors are Belle and the Beau by Beverly Jenkins, Samantha and the Cowboy by Lorraine Heath, Catherine and the Pirate by Karen Hawkins, and Nicola and the Viscount by Meg Cabot, Gwyneth and the Thief by Margaret Moore, and Anna and the Duke by Kathryn Smith. Volume 1 has a tiny tear at the base of the spine and volume 4 is creased down its spine. Other than that, the books are very good, sturdy, clean, and their pages are crisp with no marks, dog ears, or tears, stains or damage.
