The Lost World, one of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's most famous novels, is the story of a four man expedition to a remote plateau in South America, cut off from the surrounding country by unscaleable perpindicular cliffs.

The adventures of Professors Challenger and Summerlee, Lord John Roxton and the journalist Malone are breathlessly exciting, and lead up to the climax of their return to the outside world to confound their sceptical critics.
