Critics Review

“Any fan of Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea or The Mysterious Island—whether the books or the classic adventure films—should grab a copy of Extraordinary Visions: Stories Inspired by Jules Verne…The 13 stories derive from, or pay homage to, some of the French writer’s best- and least-known works.”
