Description
The perfect gift for a young adventurer. Share your beloved childhood stories with the next generation!
Evocative of an era when all travel was an adventure, this timeless classic is perfectly captured by Robert Ingpen's rich and detailed illustrations. Although round-the-world travel is now possible in hours rather than weeks, Jules Verne's tale of a race against the clock has never lost its power to thrill.
Set in 1872, Mr. Phileas Fogg, a gentleman of precision and predictability, and his manservant, the ever resourceful Passepartout, ride through India on an elephant, sail the South China Sea in the teeth of a typhoon, and cross the snow-covered plains of the American Wild West in order to fulfill a wager that the journey can be completed in just 80 days. The ill-assorted but determined trio have to use all of their ingenuity and some remarkable vehicles to race back to London.
Will they make it in time?A full-colour illustrated edition of one of the world's best loved stories. 'Ingpen's drawings are utterly compelling' – Michael Morpurgo
