Jules Verne

Around the World in Eighty Days
Pre-Teen / Teen / Adult Fiction
In 1872 Phileas Fogg wagers that he can circle the earth in eighty days; and traveling by steamer, railway, carriage, sledge, and elephant he wins his bet in seventy-nine days, twenty-three hours, and fifty-seven minutes.Together with his manservant, Passepartout, Fogg makes a breathless world tour, overcoming wild misadventures and finding time to rescue a beautiful Indian maharani from a burning funeral pyre; all the while restlessly pursued by a bumbling detective called Mr. Fix.

Meeka says:
I love this book, I read it all the time when I need something light and cheery on a rainy day. A wonderful story that is captivating.
