(2) 4-6 Jules Verne's classic becomes the springboard for three remarkable narratives about real-life around-the-world journeys: Thomas Stevens's in 1884, Nellie Bly's in 1889, and Joshua Slocum's in 1895. Phelan successfully weaves graphically told stories with third-person narratives and the travelers' own words. The stunning volume's eye-catching illustrations are rendered in pencil, ink, gouache, and watercolor.
