A nice edition with 5 illustrations from an early edition and the cover from the 1924 release.The Land That Time Forgot is a fantasy novel by American writer Edgar Rice Burroughs, first published in 1918. This edition contains the complete Caspak trilogy consisting of The Land that Time Forgot, The People that Time Forgot, and Out of Time's Abyss. Starting out as a harrowing wartime sea adventure, Burroughs's story ultimately develops into a lost world story reminiscent of other novels such as The Lost World and The Mysterious Island. The novel is set in World War I and opens with a framing story in which a manuscript relating the main story is recovered from a thermos off the coast of Greenland. It purports to be the narrative of Bowen J. Tyler, an American passenger sunk in the English Channel by a German U-boat. Rescued by a British tugboat, the crew manages to capture the submarine when it surfaces.
