Publisher's Synopsis
Just over a hundred years ago, the author who brought us the famous Sherlock Holmes, penned this fantasy adventure about a group of explorers seeking evidence of extinct dinosaurs in a remote part of South America. While the existence of dinosaurs had been well known for some time, and other authors had written adventures about the fantastic creatures of pre-history, it was Doyle's popularity and the quality of his writing which began the worldwide dinosaur craze, one which has inhabited books, films, television, and dreams for a century since.
