The Lost World was written by Arthur Conan Doyle in 1912 and was his first work of science fiction. It tells the story of Professor Challenger, who leads a scientific expedition to the Amazonian rainforest. The professor and his team stumble upon a lost world and get trapped there. As they struggle to escape they encounter great danger from wild animals, ape-men and even dinosaurs! This title is part of a wonderful new series that offers a quick way into a range of exciting stories. Fast-moving and accessible, each story is a shortened, dramatically illustrated version of the classic novel, which loses none of the strength and flavour of the original.
