On one level, "Renshaw Fanning's Quest" (1894) is an African treasure quest tale in the tradition of H. Rider Haggard's "King Solomon's Mines" (1885). But Mitford's novel is not a simple story of adventure. In "Renshaw Fanning's Quest"-a novel drawing on his own experiences in South Africa-Mitford subtly explores the dark side of human nature when confronted by the most hostile and dangerous of situations. And on another level, the novel is a depiction of a way of life filled with high adventure and limitless possibility-a way of life that at the turn of the 20th century was rapidly disappearing.
