Don't send your coins to the wealthy trolls that live in high castles this holiday season.
Shop in your local forest and share them with the witches, goblins, and other moss draped horrors that create sparks of light in the darkness.

So I'm editing the Edinburgh Edition of Arthur Conan Doyle's The Lost World. Relatedly, if you're in the UK and you or your library possess the deluxe large paper British edition (1912 or 1914 versions), please let me know. It's the version with Iguanodon footprints on the cover.
