Belshazzar
Belshazzar, the final book written by Haggard and published posthumously, is a historical fiction that follows the Egyptian prince Ramose as he rescues his wife Myra from the King of Babylon.
Although Haggard wrote Belshazzar in 1924, Hutchinson's refused to publish it. Stanley Paul & Co., Ltd., London, published the first UK edition of Belshazzar on 26 September, 1930, in an edition of 2500 copies. Doubleday, Doran and Co., New York, published the first US Edition that same year.
