The author wishes to state that this tale was written in its present form some time before the discovery in Rhodesia of the fossilized and immeasurably ancient remains of the proto-human person who might well have been one of the Heuheua, the Hairy Wood-Folk, of which it tells through the mouth of Allan Quatermain.

Meanwhile, it's good to see Hans return to the Quatermain series. Throughout, Haggard has Hans' powers of observation and intelligence gradually enlarge. By the time of Heu Heu, he is almost Allan's equal. Always, Hans is his mocking conscience.
Haggard is much at home with Quatermain, which is why he was able to bounce back so thoroughly from the disaster that was Wisdom's Daughter. ( )
