Sir Arthur Conan Doyle & The Lost World

 ~  

 

Today is the birthday of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle who is famous for his creation of the sleuth, Sherlock Holmes, in 1887. However, due to my lifelong fascination with dinosaurs, it is his fantasy novel, The Lost World, I have always loved.    

 

The book has been depicted MANY times on film:
