Series
Monella
Frank Aubrey · 3 novels · 1896–1903
Frank Aubrey's Monella novels are Victorian-era lost-world adventures built around a recurring, sorceress-like figure named Monella, encountered by different explorers in hidden regions of South America and a submerged Atlantis. Beginning with The Devil-Tree of El Dorado, the loosely linked books send new casts of characters into fresh perils rather than continuing one plot across volumes. Later editions have repackaged the novels together in combined omnibus volumes.
