Jules Verne's classic adventure tale is reimagined for the stage in this enchanting adaptation. "Pure, unadulterated magic ... utterly beguiling ... a high-spirited, imagination-filled escapade ... Laura Eason's exceptionally graceful adaptation of the Jules Verne classic ... manages to be both wise and fun-filled ... it lays its bets on enchantment and invariably comes up a winner ... a show that should sail the world. Highly recommended." -Chicago Sun-Times "Light, cheerful and greatly entertaining ... laudably committed to its theatricality ... Eason's staging is full of the visual imagination ... It's all a great deal of fun." -Chicago Tribune "An engaging, family-friendly show. Highly recommended." -The Chicago Reader "Eason's affable adaptation plays up elements of Verne's novel that are sometimes forgotten ... Eason moves stylishly from set piece to set piece, from the cuckoo-clock orchestration of Fogg's London life to teacups sliding across a shipboard table." -Time Out Chicago

Review:

Graded in seven levels, these have just enough stretch in them and yet are not too overwhelming' - The Irish Sunday Independent; 'Crack reading and make confident and enthusiastic readers with this fantastic reading programme. Seven steps take beginners from simply written folk stories told in 150 words through to lovers of classic and original stories and histories, biographies and classics told in 5,000 words. Colour-coded for ease of use, and presented in a beautiful hardback, every story is well-written and attractively illustrated in full colour by leading artists' - Julia Eccleshare --Julia Eccleshare
About the Author:
Jules Verne (1828 - 1905) started out composing librettos, but the French-born author's passion for travel and exploration compelled him to turn to adventure tales, creating the prototype for today's science fiction. One of the most translated authors in the world, Jules Verne is best known for his classics, Journey to the Center of the Earth, Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea, and Around the World in Eighty Days.
