VERNE, Jules; FREWER, Ellen E. (trans.)
The heroes of this story are carried away through space on the comet "Gallia" and the book is often reprinted under the title "Off on a Comet." One of Verne's most ingenious and surprising tales. Although dated 1878 on the title page, this book was actually published in November 1877, simultaneously with the English edition. This is also the first authorized American edition, having first been pirated by publisher George Munro in September 1877 as part of his "Seaside Library" series. Myers 33. Taves & Michaluk V016.
