Volume 16 of 54 of Jules Verne's "Extraordinary Voyages", first printed in 1877. “The Child Of The Cavern†is set beneath the earth in an underground coal mine in Scotland. A newly discovered vein of coal revitalizes this nearly abandoned subterranean village, but strange events start occurring that the populace cannot explain. Is there someone else living in these dark and narrow mines? This particular edition is reproduced from English-edition public works, and is presented simply with an emphasis on straightforward presentation, attractiveness and continuity of appearance, with each title in the "Extraordinary Voyages" sporting a journal-style brown cover accompanied by a cover illustration and quote from the text on the back cover.
