Henry Rider Haggard, generally known as H. Rider Haggard or Rider Haggard, was born at Bradenham, Norfolk, the eighth of ten children, to Sir William Meybohm Rider Haggard, a barrister, and Ella Doveton, an author and poet.
His father was born in Saint Petersburg, Russia, to British parents.
Haggard was initially sent to Garsington Rectory in Oxfordshire to study under Reverend H. J. Graham, but unlike his elder brothers who graduated from various private schools, he attended Ipswich Grammar School.
This was because his father, who perhaps regarded him as somebody who was not going to amount to much, could no longer afford to maintain his expensive private education. After failing his army entrance exam, he was sent to a private crammer in London to prepare for the entrance exam for the British Foreign Office, for which he never sat.
During his two years in London he came into contact with people interested in the study of psychical phenomena.
At the time of the first annexation of the Transvaal (1877), he was on the staff of the special commissioner, Sir Theophilus Shepstone; and he subsequently became a master of the high court of the Transvaal.
He returned to England and read for the bar, but soon took to literary work; he published Celywayo and his White Neighbours (1882), written in defence of Sir T. Shepstone's policy.
This was followed by the novels Dawn (1884), The Witch's Head (1885), which contains an account of the British defeat at Isandhlwana; and in 1886 King Solomon's Mines, suggested by the Zimbabwe ruins, which first made him popular.
She (1887), another fantastic African story, was also very successful, a sequel, Ayesha, or the Return of She, being published in 1905.
The scene of Jess and of Allan Quatermain (1888) was also laid in Africa.
His report on the subject was first published as a blue book, and afterwards, in an enlarged form, as The Poor and the Land (1905), with suggestions for a scheme of national land settlement in Great Britain itself. His other books include Maiwa's Revenge (1888), Mr Meeson's Will, Colonel Quaritch, V. C. (1888), Cleopatra (1889), Eric Brighteyes (1891), The World's Desire (1890), a romance of Helen of Troy, written with Mr Andrew Lang; Nada the Lily (1892), Montezuma's Daughter (1894), The People of the Mist (1894), Joan Haste (1895), Heart of the World (1896), Dr Theme (1898), A Farmer's Year (1899), The Nevi South Africa (1900), Lysbeth, A Tale of the Dutch (1901), Stella Fregelius (1903), A Gardener's Year (1905), A Farmer's Year (1899, revised ed. , 1906), The Way of the Spirit (1906).
Haggard was knighted in 1912 for his welfare work throughout the British Empire.
He died on 14 May 1925 at age 68. His ashes were buried at Ditchingham Church.

In 1895 he unsuccessfully contested the East Norfolk parliamentary division in the Unionist interest; he showed great interest in rural and agricultural questions, being a practical gardener and farmer on his estate in Norfolk.
In 1905 he was commissioned by the colonial office to inquire into the Salvation Army settlements at Fort Romie, S. California, and Fort Amity, Colorado, with a view to the establishment of similar colonies in South Africa.
When Haggard eventually returned to England, he married a friend of his sister, Marianna Louisa Margitson (1859–1943) in 1880, and the couple travelled to Africa together.
They had a son named Jack (who died of measles at age 10) and three daughters, Angela, Dorothy and Lilias. Lilias Rider Haggard became an author, edited The Rabbit Skin Cap and I Walked By Night, and wrote a biography of her father entitled The Cloak That I Left (published in 1951).
