The Lost World, by Arthur Conan Doyle.
Explorer Professor Challenger is taking quite a
beating in the London press thanks to his claim that
living dinosaurs exist in the far reaches of the
Amazon. Newspaper reporter Edward Malone learns that
this claim originates from a diary given to him by
fellow explorer Maple White's daughter, Paula.
Malone's paper funds an expedition to rescue Maple
White, who has been marooned at the top of a high
plateau. Joined by renowned hunter John Roxton, and
others, the group goes to South America, where they do
indeed find a plateau inhabited by pre-historic
creatures, one of which they even manage to bring back
to London with them.
