Challenger's narrative "remains the most famous of its type and has served as a model since its publication." - Anatomy of Wonder (1981). 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.

CONAN DOYLE, ARTHUR; The Poison Belt 1913. First Editions (x2). Original tooled cloth blue binding with black lettering and design to cover, gilt lettering with title to spine. 16 illustrations by Harry Rountree, Hodder Stoughton London. The Poison Belt was the second story, a novella, that Sir Arthur Conan Doyle wrote about Professor Challenger. Written in 1913, roughly a year before the outbreak of World War I, much of it takes place in a single room in Challenger's house in Sussex - rather oddly, given that it follows The Lost World, a story set largely outdoors in the wilds of South America. This would be the last story written about Challenger until the 1920s, by which time Doyle's spiritualist beliefs had begun to influence his writing.
