There Are Heroisms All Round Us
Try Your Luck with Professor Challenger
He is a Perfectly Impossible Person
It's Just the very Biggest Thing in the World
Question!
The Flail of the Lord
To-morrow we Disappear into the Unknown
The Outlying Pickets of the New World
Who could have Foreseen it
The most Wonderful Things have Happened
For once I was the Hero
It Was Dreadful in the Forest
A Sight Which I Shall Never Forget
Those Were the Real Conquests
Our Eyes Have Seen Great Wonders
A Procession! A Procession!

Imagine a strange, tropical place that is almost inaccessible. Time appears to have stood still there. Species of animal and plant life not seen elsewhere on Earth, except in the fossil record, inhabit the place. The lakes heave with the shapes of huge grey bulks moving under the surface. The woods are places where chittering cries move about above your head, as powerful apes move swiftly in the canopy of leaves. Then, a tree splinters nearby, and a dinosaur steps out from his hiding place... and he's eyeing YOU.

Jurassic Park? Not quite. The Lost World was an inspiration for Jurassic Park; in fact, a character in J.P. has the same name as one of the chief characters in The Lost World. It also inspired King Kong. But this is the original! Four adventurers go off to find the place shown in a dead man's sketch book - they find a war between apes and Indians, prowling dinosaurs, a sparkly treasure hidden in the blue clay - they find the Lost World. And because of the treachery of a native guide, their means of escape is destroyed!
