Three Englishmen are shipwrecked and find, on an island in the Pacific, a man and a woman who have slept for a quarter of a million years and remember the civilisation that drowned. Haggard wrote it at the end of the Great War, long after the death of his only son, and the book argues with death rather more than it adventures.
