I read this book because I had never read it and it is a famous book written by a famous author. I enjoyed it even though I had trouble with the european context a bit.
The description for this book is wrong. For whatever reason people just keep copying and pasteing descriptions from amazon without even reading what they say. This copy of Twenty Thousand Leagues under the Seas is an easy to read Little Unicorn Classic Series. There are lots of pictures that are very nice and would be a cute version for a younger child. This book has been edited a whole lot.
