"I'll bet you 20,000 pounds that I can travel around the world in 80 days!" said Phileas Fogg. The time is 1872, when trains and steamships are the fastest means of travel. Across Egypt and India, through Hong Kong, Japan and America he goes, encountering wonders along the way and braving many dangers. He meets a beautiful Indian princess and is pursued by a detective with a warrant for his arrest... Can they keep Phileas Fogg from winning his bet? (Cover illustration by Al Leiner)
