Verne, Jules: Stories for Seafarers

"Take to the high seas with three thrilling tales! Robert Louis Stevenson‘s Treasure Island has captured imaginations for over a century, delivering a stirring coming-of-age story, one of literature‘s most memorable villains, and boatloads of swashbuckling adventure. H. G. Wells‘s little-known novella The Sea Lady is a scintillating satire about a mermaid washing up in a fashionable Victorian seaside resort--and the comical antics that ensue. Jules Verne‘s Twenty Thousand Leagues under the Sea is the quintessential oceanic adventure, vividly portraying the scientific marvels of the sea and the mysterious charisma of Captain Nemo, the man who chose to live his life beneath the surface. This keepsake collection brings together three classic texts in a gift-worthy set. Lush illustrations by Jim Tierney adorn the covers, while creamy paper and ribbon markers promise a deluxe reading experience. Dive in and rediscover the power and wonder of the ocean"--
