      Journalist Ed Malone is looking for an adventure, and that's exactly what he finds when he meets the eccentric Professor Challenger: an adventure that leads Malone and his three companions deep into the Amazon jungle, to a lost world where dinosaurs roam free and the natives fight out a murderous war with their fierce neighbours, the ape-men. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's The Lost World was first published in 1912 and has since established itself as a classic adventure-fantasy story. Cover illustration by Alun Hood

    • When the last great war came, a small group of survivors hid themselves below the fields of Kansas, living in a place of eternal twilight. *** Over time the energy surrounding the descendants of these survivors turned them into Duendes, ghost-like beings, never having seen real light or knowing anything of the conditions of the world beyond their underground enclosure. *** Six hundred years have passed since the war and now some Duendes want to leave the safety of their habitat and finally go 'above.' But what will they discover once they have emerged into the sunlight?
