Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's The Lost World is highly regarded by many science fiction readers and it has inspired several movie adaptations as well as at least one television series.
Starting in February, 200,000 copies of The Lost World will be distributed for free in several cities including Glasgow, Edinburgh, and Oxford as part of a program to boost reading.
The selection of this title was inspired by the fact that Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (best known for his creation of Sherlock Holmes) was born 150 years ago this year. He died in 1930. In fact, if you don't live in the free distribution area or cannot wait for a chance to receive your copy of the book, you can download The Lost World for free as an etext from Project Gutenberg.
