Synopsis

Titles In This Set: 1. Around the World in 80 Days By Jules Verne 2. The Secret Garden By Frances H. Burnett 3. Peter Pan By J. M. Barrie Description: Around the World in 80 Days : Around the World in 80 days is an amazing story about Phileas Fogg who is a wealthy English gentleman living a solitary life in London. Despite his wealth, Fogg lives a modest life and is very punctual. He carries out his habits with precision. He is a member of the Reform Club, where he spends a large portion of his days and nights. On the morning of 2 October 1872, Fogg hires Frenchman Jean Passepartout. That same evening, while at the Club, Fogg gets involved in a discussion regarding an article in a Newspaper, stating that with the opening of a new railway section in India, it is now possible to travel around the world in 80 days. He accepts a wager for £20,000, half of his fortune, from his fellow club members to complete such a journey. With Passepartout accompanying him, Fogg departs from London by train at 8:45 p.m.; to win the wager, he must return to the club by this same time on 21 December, 80 days later. The Secret Garden : The Secret Garden is a story about Mary Lennox who is a neglected and unloved 10-year-old girl, born in British India to wealthy British parents. She is cared for primarily by native servants, who spoil her and allow her to have free rein. After a cholera epidemic kills her parents, Mary is left alone when the few surviving servants flee. She is sent to England to live with her uncle, Archibald Craven, husband of her father's sister Lilias. He lives on the Yorkshire Moors in a large country house, Misselthwaite Manor. On arrival, Mary discovers that Lilias is dead and that Archibald is a hunchback. At first, Mary remains angry and defiant. She dislikes her new home, the people living in it and, most of all, the bleak moor on which it sits. Over time, she becomes less cantankerous. She befriends her maid, Martha Sowerby, who tells Mary about Lilias, who would spend hours in a private walled garden growing roses. Lilias died after an accident in the garden ten years previously, and the devastated Archibald locked the garden and buried the key. Mary becomes interested in finding the secret garden herself. Peter Pan : Peter Pan is a free-spirited and mischievous young boy who can fly and never grows up, he spends his never-ending childhood having adventures on the mythical island of Neverland as the leader of the Lost Boys, interacting with fairies, pirates, mermaids, Native Americans, and occasionally ordinary children from the world outside Neverland. Peter Pan has become a cultural icon symbolizing youthful innocence and escapism.
