For Fans of Little Nell and Similar

If you like Dickens's style of pathos, you will like this collection. Written very well, of course, but if Philip Bird were not such a good reader I could not have finished it.

Jules Verne's 'The Survivors of the Chancellor

Which scene was your favorite?

When the survivors finally spotted a ship

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

I suppose it was the young Scotsman's story about the anniversary of his sisters birthday.

Any additional comments?

I you like old time ships and survival stories, it is quite entertaining.
