Fair Margaret (published in the United States as Margaret) is a 1907 novel by British writer H. Rider Haggard, set in the time of Henry VII of England.[1][2][3] The plot features the abduction of the titular heroine and her adventures in Spain, including a meeting with King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella of Spain.[1]
Reception
Reviewing the novel, Frederic Taber Cooper praised Margaret. Cooper stated: "Mr. Haggard has the craft of a born stage manager, and thanks to his gorgeous scenery, his thronging troops of soldiers, sailors, courtiers, black-robed inquisitors, and languishing Spanish maids, he brings his story to a triumphant and happy solution, and sends us away with the feeling that we have witnessed a big, spectacular show that was eminently worth while."[4]
