The Land That Time Forgot
The Land That Time Forgot began as a 1918 magazine serial and this edition gathers all three of its linked novellas. In the first, the American Bowen Tyler is torpedoed in 1916, helps seize a German U-boat and is carried to Caprona, an uncharted island near Antarctica whose warm interior, Caspak, holds dinosaurs, ape-men and tribes at every stage of human development. The People That Time Forgot follows a rescue expedition, and Out of Time's Abyss tells what became of a party lost among the winged Wieroo. Edgar Rice Burroughs's conceit, that evolution on Caspak happens within a single lifetime, gives the adventure a strange logic of its own.
