Illustrated Classics – Around The World In Eighty Days: Abridged Novels With Review Questions

Phileas Fogg wagers his fortune on a claim his London club thinks absurd: that he can circle the globe and be back inside eighty days. The adventure by Jules Verne is abridged for younger readers here, following Fogg and his servant Passepartout across trains, steamers and whatever improvised transport the route demands, while a detective trails them in the belief that he has found a bank robber. The illustrated pages and chapter-end review questions give a child both a story to follow and a way to check what they have taken in. What this title covers: • Verne's race against the clock told in shortened form • Fogg and Passepartout's route across continents and oceans • Questions at each chapter's close for comprehension • Illustrated scenes that mark the stages of the journey Written for children of around eight and older, and useful to teachers pairing adventure fiction with geography.
