About the Author

Jules Verne was born on February 8, 1828, in France. Growing up near a river, the constant sight of ships sparked his interest in travel. As a young man, Verne even tried to run away and become a cabin boy. Fortunately, his father caught him, and soon Verne was off to study law in Paris. While there, Verne escaped the boredom of his studies by writing stories. When his father found out about this hobby, he stopped sending money for school. Verne started selling his stories, many of which became popular, including 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea in 1870. Before he died in 1905, the author bought a boat and sailed around Europe.

My six year old son bought this from his school fair and loves it. He's read it multiple times and now wants other books in the series. I read through it and the pictures are decent. It is faithful to the original story line.

CAUTION. This is not the novel by Jules Verne. It is a comic book. Unfortunately the listing in Amazon doesn't tell you that. Misleading. I wasted my money!
