This is the 11th book in the Extraordinary Voyages Series.

Classic Jules Verne yarn about Phileas Fogg, who, for a bet, decides to travel around the world in 80 days.

Using whatever means necessary, he travels with his faithful servant Passepartout.

Picking up a misinformed detective along the way, they travel to India (where he rescues an Indian girl from the funeral pyre of her husband), China, America and other places too.
