Baker Street is still faithfully maintained as
it was kept in Victorian Times. Step back in

Doyle concerning to a plateau (native name is
Tepuyes) in South America Guyana where
prehistorical animals (dinosaurs and other
extinct creatures) still survive. The character
of Professor Challenger was introduced in this

is devoted to a war between early human hominids
and vicious tribe of ape-like creatures.
