He is a witty parody of H. Rider Haggard's adventure novel She, crafted by Andrew Lang. This humorous take invites listeners into a world where the grandiose elements of swashbuckling tales are playfully subverted. With a light-hearted tone, Lang offers a fresh perspective on the tropes of adventure fiction.

Set against the backdrop of fantastical exploits, the narrative features an Editor and a Publisher who provide amusing commentary throughout the story. Their interactions add a layer of meta-humor, engaging the audience in a dialogue about the absurdities of the genre.

Through clever wordplay and satirical observations, Lang not only entertains but also critiques the conventions of his time. This audiobook is a delightful exploration of humor in literature, making it a unique addition to the canon of Victorian fiction.
