4.0 out of 5 stars
Exquisite Edition of the Classic Adventure Story,
This review is from: The Annotated Lost World (Hardcover)
A classic in the tradition of the scientific romance, in which Sir Arthur introduces the irascible Professor Challenger, discoverer of a plateau of ancient flora and fauna, living fossils. Mr. Pilot and Mr. Rodin's splendid annotated edition enhance the pleasure of the read with bits of history and other background fabric. Especially delightful are the Harry Rountree and Joseph Clement Coll illustrations from early serialized versions of the story, reprinted throughout the book. In addition to the annotations, four appendices provide further history and commentary. You'll even find Conan Doyle and friends disquised as the book's characters in old photographs prepared for the first British edition. Although a little expensive, it's well worth the price for anyone interested in something more than the casual read of this popular novel.

This review is from: The Annotated Lost World (Hardcover)
This handsome (Wessex = listed here as Gasogene) edition of an enthralling yet sadly neglected masterpiece by Conan Doyle, creator of Sherlock Holmes, is enhanced by dozens of insightful annotations, all the original illustrations, as well as a stockpile of in-depth, illuminating essays on the origins of the work itself, its adaptation to the silent screen, and more. Five- star rating both for content and presentation. A collector's item, well worth the price.

5.0 out of 5 stars
excellent notes on a dated but fascinating novel,
By
This review is from: The Annotated Lost World (Hardcover)
With the DVD remastering of the 1925 film of "The Lost World", this book makes a fascinating companion. I read the novel in my teens and it was fun to re-enter Doyle's world and remeet the fascinating Prof. Get the book and the remastered DVD - making sure you get the restored version.
