This third collection of some of Jules Verne's shorter stories contains several gems. They range from a dramatic tale taking place in old Mexico, a story about an armament manufacturer and his fortune, some monkey business, a visit to a utopian city and a previously unpublished story attributed to J. Verne.
The book contains:
¿ The Begum's Fortune
¿ A Drama in Mexico
¿ Gil Braltar
¿ An ideal City
¿ The Claims Against The Female Driver
Most of these have restored illustrations from either their original publications, or subsequent re-printings. These have been carefully cleaned and balanced so they may be enjoyed.
A couple do not seem to have been previously translated, or when they were, entire chapters were omitted. Who knows why, but we have restored them where we could find more complete French versions.
