About French
French classics in this library move from grand adventure to Gothic mystery. In Jules Verne's Around the World in Eighty Days, Phileas Fogg races across the globe with his French servant Passepartout. In Gaston Leroux's The Phantom of the Opera, strange demands and a hidden voice draw a young singer beneath the grand Paris Opera.
Both are condensed illustrated picture books with audiobook narration. The Verne edition follows George M. Towle's English translation and is rated 10+; the Leroux edition follows Alexander Teixeira de Mattos's English translation and is rated 13+. The complete original texts are free to read alongside them.
