This is a true account by American woman journalist who, in 1889, set out to see whether she could beat the fictional journey in Jules Verne’s 1873 novel, Around the World in Eighty Days. Wearing one dress and carrying one handbag, Elizabeth Cochrane Seaman (pen name “Nellie Bly”), reported her travels back to avid readers in America. (Summary by Mary Reagan)

Chapters are out of order

I'd like to give it 5 stars, but the chapters are presented out of order in iTunes. You are much better off going directly to the Librivox web site and listening from there. Reagan does a wonderful job reading it.
