About this ebook
One night in the reform club, Phileas Fogg bets his companions that he can travel across the globe in just eighty days. Breaking the well-established routine of his daily life, he immediately sets off for Dover with his astonished valet Passepartout. Passing through exotic lands and dangerous locations, they seize whatever transportation is at hand - whether train or elephant - overcoming set-backs and always racing against the clock.

I LOVE This book and one day I bought a book and it was the same but the title was around the world in eight days. The main characters are Donald Duck and Uncle Scrooge. I enjoy reading it because it is funny.
