I never read these as a child, but the amount of childhood nostalgia this book gave me is insane! I really liked the first half of the book, but then the fiction part of science fiction became too imaginary for me to just ignore it:
I mean the plants and prehistoric animals section, which I heard was not a part of the original edition (at least in this length) and should have stayed so in my opinion. I can excuse traveling in underground tunnels, but dinosaurs and all those mixed species from different ages were too much.
