One of the most celebrated tales of all time, Around the World in 80 Days is part high-octane thriller, part fascinating fantasy travelogue. Pragmatic gambler Phileas Fogg has made a gentlemanly wager to the members of his exclusive club: that he can circle the world in just 80 days, right down to the minute. Fetching his newly appointed French valet, Fogg embarks on a fabulous journey across land and sea - by steamer, rail, and elephant - to win the bet of a lifetime.

I read this book as a child, but since that has been nearly 40 years ago, I had forgotten most of the details. Listening to this audio book was a real treat. The narrators did a great job.

I read this novel for the first time when I was ten years old, and I loved it. I had forgotten most of the details, so l got just as much enjoyment out of listening to this audio book as I did when I read it 40 years ago. The narrator has a pleasant voice and did a good job reading the text.
