The creator of Sherlock Holmes dabbled in many other genres including science fiction, and in this 1912 fantasy he transported readers to the wilds of the Amazon for a rollicking adventure among dinosaurs and other prehistoric creatures. "The Lost World" is the first and best of Arthur Conan Doyle's five stories about the eccentric paleontologist Professor Challenger. This splendid hardcover edition reprints the tale as it first appeared in "The Strand Magazine" and includes the original brush-and-wash illustrations by Golden Age masters Harry Rountree. Doyle, using hisMaple White alias, provides artwork as well."

Doyle has also written many works of history and science fiction, plus plays and poetry.New Zealand native Harry Rountree (1878 1950) emigrated to England where he made his fortune as an illustrator of books and magazines such as" Little Folks" and "Punch.""
