About Adventure

Adventure stories send their heroes away from home and into danger: across the sea, down a rabbit hole, into the jungle, around the world against the clock or into the frozen North. The classics on this shelf helped invent the genre, from Robert Louis Stevenson's Treasure Island and Mark Twain's Huckleberry Finn to Jules Verne's Around the World in Eighty Days, H. G. Wells's The War of the Worlds and Jack London's The Call of the Wild.

Many of them were written for young readers in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries and are still loved by readers of every age. Here each one is retold as an illustrated picture book with audiobook narration, so a long journey can be followed page by page or listened to in an evening.
