The Lost World, Strand Magazine

About

The Lost World is an exploration of a dangerous and exotic place, where prehistoric creatures still thrive. Published in 1912, the book was inspired by H G Wells’s novella The Country of the Blind, 1904, which was also set in a secret South American valley (and which appeared, like much of Doyle’s own work, in the Strand magazine)

The Lost World is a  bold and imaginative account of an expedition to the Amazon Basin, led by Professor Challenger and his companions, where they are mobbed by a cluster of flying pterodactyls and pursued by flesh-eating dinosaurs.
