Synopsis

Rediscover the Puffin Classics collection and bring the best-loved classics to a new generation - including this epic edition of Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea, abridged for younger readers.

A mission to rid the seas of a monstrous creature becomes a terrifying nightmare when Professor Aronnax, Conseil and Ned Land are thrown overboard.

The huge marine animal which has haunted the water is no living beast, but a spectacular manufactured vessel, and the three men find themselves the helpless prisoners of Captain Nemo. Resigned to their fate, they begin a miraculous journey on the submarine ship which can travel through waters never before explored.

For the Professor, at least, this voyage is one he would not have missed for the world...

This is an abridged edition of the classic novel, designed for readers aged 9-12 years.
