The Lost World

70 years of timeless stories. One essential collection.

Some places are best left undiscovered . . . In this rip-roaring adventure from the creator of Sherlock Holmes, Professor Challenger and his team of explorers find a lost prehistoric world in the remote wilds of South America. Huge pterodactyls rule the skies and the jungle is home to lumbering stegosaurus, carnivorous dinosaurs and terrifying ape-men. If the adventurers can survive, fame and fortune almost certainly await them back in London. But in this dangerous land that defies all science and reason, humans are no longer at the top of the food chain -– and their predators are out for blood. First published in 1912, this thrilling story was the inspiration for Jurassic Park.
