Description
This is a 1998 hardcover edition of "The Lost World" by Arthur Conan Doyle. The book was written in 1912; this edition was "especially created" by the Book of the Month Club in 1998. Please note that this is not the novel, with the same title, written by Michael Crichton (Mr. Crichton borrowed the title for one of his "Jurassic Park" novels). This is an attractive edition, with an early 20th-century look and feel, which includes illustrations. The novel is an adventure tale - a quest to reach a remote area (in South America) where animals (including dinosaurs), considered to be long extinct, are rumoured to still be living.
