<ul><li> One of FA's "three <u>Lost-World</u> novels";
"The first and most successful of the three was <i>The Devil Tree of El Dorado: A Romance of British Guiana</i> (1896), which capitalized on the contemporary interest in the Roraima Plateau lying athwart the disputed border between Venezuela and the British colony; Monella, the mysterious giant who leads Europeans to their goal, turns out to be the 2000 year old ex-king of all they now survey, and a kind of <u>Wandering Jew</u>.

<li> "A novel might explain the Venezuelan complication [border dispute], and it is perhaps with that end in view that the Messrs. Hutchinson have published 'The Devil Tree of El Dorado</i>, the scene of which is placed in Brazil, Venezuela, and British Guiana."
