The reviewer sees it as the best of the recent [[The Lost World|Lost World]] editions and recommends it wholeheartedly, whether or not the reader already owns the stories.<br /> <br /> <br /> == Review ==<br /> [[File:the-parish-magazine-n13-1995-11-p24.jpg|thumb|250px|right|[[The Parish Magazine (newsletter)|The Parish Magazine]] (No. 13, november 1995, p. 24)]]<br /> [[File:the-parish-magazine-n13-1995-11-p25.jpg|thumb|250px|right|[[The Parish Magazine (newsletter)|The Parish Magazine]] (No. 13, november 1995, p. 25)]]<br /> <br /> : [[File:wordsworth-1995-the-lost-world.jpg|100px]]<br /> : &#039;&#039;&#039;The Lost World and Other Stories&#039;&#039;&#039;<br /> : by [[Arthur Conan Doyle]]<br /> : Wordsworth Classics, 1995; 461pp; £1.00 or less; ISBN: 1-85326-245-5<br /> <br /> <br /> &#039;&#039;&#039;Reviewed by Christopher Roden&#039;&#039;&#039;<br /> <br /> In the last issue of [[The Parish Magazine (newsletter)|The Parish Magazine]] I reviewed two new versions of [[The Lost World]], one from Alan Sutton (which also included [[The Poison Belt]]), and one in the new Oxford Popular Fiction series. <br /> <br /> Now comes an edition to top them all; one which contains the complete [[Professor Challenger]] stories-and all for £1 or less. <br /> <br /> Love them or hate them, there is no denying that Wordsworth Classics have brought new life to English Literature. More recently, the format of the books has changed, and &#039;&#039;The Lost World and Other Stories&#039;&#039; is in the new style: a larger size, with lighter paper. It is all the better for that. <br /> <br /> What else is there to say. I certainly do not need to introduce [[Professor Challenger]] or the five marvellous stories in this volume. If you do not have the complete Challenger stories, get them now-you&#039;re in for a treat; if you do have them, buy this edition anyway: it&#039;s much too good a bargain to miss. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> {{footer_acd_society_article}}<br /> {{footer_periodicals}}<br /> {{footer_review_articles}}</div>
