The Lost World

<b>Boys are mysterious creatures, with rich imaginations and inner lives at which most can only guess. Luckily, a few writers have the talent to capture their fantasies of extraordinary adventure and epic bravery. Inspired by the success of <i>The Dangerous Book For Boys</i>, the six titles of the <i>Penguin Great Books For Boys</i> collection celebrate the adventurer within every boy with tales of shipwreck, murder, espionage, and survival. With a striking series look that is nostalgic and, at the same time, completely modern, these Great Books For Boys are sure to appeal to boys young and old</b>.<br><br> Unlucky in love, but desperate to prove himself in an adventure, journalist Ed Malone is sent to interview the infamous and hot-tempered Professor Challenger about his bizarre South American expedition findings- especially his sketches of a strange plateau and the monstrous creatures that appear to live there.<br><br> But rather than being angry at his questions, Challenger invites him along on his next field trip. Malone is delighted; until it becomes clear that the Professor was telling the truth about the terrible lost world he discovered. <br><br> Will they all survive the terrifying creatures on the island? And will anyone ever believe what they saw there?
