THE LOST WORLD
The author has produced a highly interesting tale of outlandish adventure, of a sort to stir the pulses and arouse the wonder of even the "jaded" novel reader. He has his little company of 20th century scientists and adventurers test their courage and their skill against the huge and loathsome beasts of the Jurassic period. They fight for their lives with pterodactyls, see iguanodons at play, and watch the tragedies of life among gigantic dinosaurs. And they come upon a tribe of man-apes, missing links, and for a time it looks as if the 20th century would go down before the survivals of antiquity. Fully illustrated.
