In the story, Phileas Fogg of London and his newly employed French valet Passepartout attempt to circumnavigate the world in 80 days on a £20,000 wager set by his friends at the Reform Club.

Customer Reviews
Fabulous!
I have listened to about a dozen books via librivox recordings and this one was so good that I wanted to write and say, "thank you." The narrator read the whole thing--unlike other librivox recordings with different narrators throughout. His voice was fantastic and clear and the story was wonderful. In fact, I want to share it with my children on our next vacation. I think they would enjoy it, too. So, thanks to the narrator!
Awesome
MUCH better than the other recording, the reader has a very cinematic voice, almost as enjoyable to listen to as Morgan Freeman. Also, a great story.
A good read
While not the most riveting story, the reader brought it to life in a simple, even, understandable directness. I appreciate his efforts.
