Mistress Branican

Description

Volume 36 of 54 in Jules Verne's "Extraordinary Voyages", first published in 1891. Captain Antifer is lost at sea and presumed dead, and his wife falls into a coma at this news. When she eventually recovers, she employs her entire fortune to find him, as she does not believe that he is lost. Her voyage takes her across the world to the wilds of Australia. This particular edition is reproduced from English-edition public works, and is presented simply with an emphasis on straightforward presentation, attractiveness and continuity of appearance, with each title in the "Extraordinary Voyages" sporting a journal-style brown cover accompanied by a cover illustration and quote from the text on the back cover.
