About this book
Eighty days to get round the world, £20,000 at stake: Phileas Fogg puts his faith in a timetable.
London, 1872: Phileas Fogg stakes half his fortune and his standing at the Reform Club on a journey round the globe. His newly hired French valet, Passepartout, expects a quiet domestic life, but Fogg leaves that very evening. Fix of Scotland Yard follows to arrest Fogg on British soil, having mistaken him for a Bank of England robber. Fogg’s unshakable calm meets Passepartout’s comic resourcefulness as steamship departures and railway connections set the pace.

Buying from NovelSpell
Choose without the guesswork
The useful details, before you buy.
Can I read a sample first?
Yes. Open any book and select “Read chapter one”. Every sample is free, with no need to sign up or buy the book first.
Who writes NovelSpell’s books?
NovelSpell’s catalogue has two kinds of books. Our original novels are published by NovelSpell under house pen names, so their author names are not real people. Our Classics are public-domain works by their original authors, such as Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley, Jane Austen and Jules Verne. We publish them in new editions and, outside English, new translations, always credited to the author.
Which edition should I choose?
Choose the eBook for DRM-free EPUB and PDF files. Choose the paperback for a physical copy printed after you order. Choose eBook + paperback if you’d like both. Every edition is a one-off purchase with no subscription.
How will I receive my books?
After payment, your eBook downloads are sent to the email address used at checkout. Lulu prints and sends paperbacks on demand, with the available delivery options and cost shown at checkout. The eBook + paperback edition includes both deliveries.
What does DRM-free mean?
Your eBook files aren’t locked to the NovelSpell shop or a single reading app. You can keep personal backups and read the EPUB or PDF using compatible apps and devices.
Which languages are available?
Every NovelSpell title is published in many languages. Use the language selector in the header to browse in yours.
Do I need an account?
No. You do not need to register, choose a password or start a subscription. When you order, Shopify creates a customer account from your checkout email address. You can use it later to see your order (or, if you are in the EU, to submit a withdrawal) by signing in with a one-time code sent to that address. You never have to use it: you can always write to info@novelspell.com instead.
What if a book isn’t for me?
Every purchase comes with a 90-day satisfaction guarantee, starting when your order is delivered. If the book disappoints, even after you’ve downloaded or read it, contact reader support for a refund or replacement.
Is checkout secure?
Yes. Payment takes place through Shopify’s secure hosted checkout. Shopify and its payment partners handle your payment details; the NovelSpell storefront never receives them.
