The Lost World is a novel released in 1912 by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle concerning an expedition to a plateau in the Amazon basin of South America where prehistoric animals (dinosaurs and other extinct creatures) still survive. It was originally published serially in the popular Strand Magazine and illustrated by New-Zealand-born artist Harry Rountree during the months of April-November 1912. The character of Professor Challenger was introduced in this book. The novel also describes a war between indigenous people and a vicious tribe of ape-like creatures. Cover by the lovely @FaithMurri.

The worlds in this collection are similar to our current world. The inhabitants speak, laugh, live and exist in worlds with similar themes. Perhaps, one could say that they represent what would have happened in the past, in the near future and in a far-flung (and still possible) future? The worlds are 'what-if' worlds but still beguiling enough for us to sit down and wonder if lion-fishes could fly and people could become truly self-sufficient ... and grow food on their own bodies.
