[edit] Discussion

A BBC Radio 4 adaptation of Hilton's novel in three hourly episodes was broadcast in 1981.

(1) A note in the text says (said) "date requires confirmation". Can anyone confirm? Deleted date to be on the safe side meanwhile. (2) Obviously they weren't "hourly" episodes (broadcast every hour) but were there three episodes each an hour long, or an unspecified number of episodes each lasting three hours? The former seemed a safe guess but confirmation would be good. Flapdragon 17:04, 19 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] A white-racist vision

No native Tibetans are found fit to be part of the long-lived community. One Chinese makes the grade, but mostly it is stray Europeans. A view that was old-fashioned even for its day.

[edit] Character names

Please note that the "Hugh Conway" was the character name used in the novel. "Richard Conway" and "Robert Conway" were alternate names used in the film versions but, as far as I know, do not apepar in the novel. I have reverted all instances of "Robert" and "Richard" to "Hugh", to keep the article consistent and relevant to the novel.--Jay Litman 15:39, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

This has been marked as a stub, since it has very little detail.

[edit] Misc

Should there be a mention of the sequel, "Shangri-La: The Return to the World of Lost Horizon" by Eleanor Cooney, Daniel Altieri (Contributor)? Does it even have a page on here? Not sure where to find it...

Alright, I created a link for it, and added it to the Shangri-La disambig page... Shangri-La (novel)

Though after a quick search on amazon, I see there are countless books following up on Lost Horizon, though there are only two that really claim to be sequels of any sort, the above and "Messenger: A Sequel to Lost Horizon" by Frank Demarco
