Jules Verne

The Mysterious Island (Modern Library Classics)
$6.95
The Mysterious Island by Jules Verne is a wonderful book. On every page you share the exciting adventures of the small group of interesting, lively and resourceful people who explore this island on which they landed by accident. Unexpected incidents lead them gradually to suspect that someone somewhere is watching them and somehow helping them. What they discover in the end, you'll never forget, it'll stay with you for ever and make you dream beautiful dreams.
When I read this book in my early teens, and eventually found who that someone was, I fell madly in love with that someone, and my hope was to meet his equivalent in real life one day.

I found this book interesting and wonder why I never read it before now. As an adult, I find found Jules Verne to be an amazing author - way ahead of his time. This book made me want to read more of Verne.

20,000 Leagues Under the Sea (Unabridged Classics)
$9.95
The original story is lush with great vocabulary and detailed description, a little work, but well worth it. I'm reading it aloud to my 10, 9, and 6 year olds. The DK illustrated abridgement is a good supplement too.

What a charming author! His ability to write has astounded me; and I know other people who are enchanted by Mr. Verne's books. My personal favorite is Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea. I would highly reccomend these books for people aged 11 and up.
