Twenty Thousand Leagues, A Shifting Reef
Rumours of a sea-monster cross the oceans, and a quiet professor joins the hunt aboard a steam frigate.
Retold for sleep from Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea by Jules Verne, first published in 1870 and long out of copyright. The story is Verne's; every sentence here is our own.
Tender and reassuring, steady when things aren't, present and calm without ever overpromising.
