The Land That Time Forgot is one of the most popular and influential science fiction tales of all time, first published in 1924. Set on the lost island of Caspak in the South Pacific, this novel combines imagination, daring adventure, and intriguing scientific speculation. Hidden behind towering, impassable cliffs, Caspak harbors unique and terrible animals and peoples. Dinosaurs terrorize tropical jungles to the south, while menacing winged humanoids dwell in cities on a large northern island. Scattered groups of human beings navigate these threats, despite their differences, all are connected in a mysterious and marvelous way.
This commemorative edition features the entire Caspak trilogy in one volume as intended by the author. In his introduction, Mike Resnick celebrates Edgar Rice Burroughs and the timeless appeal of this story. Additional content includes Scott Tracy Griffin’s glossary of terms from the Caspakian language, a rare map of Caspak drawn by Burroughs, and the classic J. Allen St. John illustrations.
