Review: One of Verne's more light hearted books..

It is one of Verne's more light hearted reads and perhaps a good introduction to his writing. I think most younger readers are unaware of some of his works and how prolific and forward thinking they were for the era they were written in. There is a Disney film with his books and ideas as a focus, Mysterious Island II. That gives a short, but coulourful view of Verne's fantastic imagination.This book is free of his usual complex scientific dialogue and seems to be a story, which was written in what I would deem an attempt to reach the mass market.Jules Verne is a writer I would and have introduced to my sprogs to try and show them what magical stories they are missing out on.AVP-UK
