What Our Customers Say...
Description
Publishers' Original Binding, With Dustwrapper
In the original scarce unclipped dust wrapper.
Originally published as 'Robur-le-Conquerant', or 'Robur the Conqueror', in French in 1886.
'Clipper of the Clouds' is an exciting sci-fi novel by Jules Verne, with mysterious lights and sounds reported in the skies across the world, and flags hung in seemingly impossible places...
In 1904 Verne published a sequel to this novel, 'Master of the World'.
Undated, dated from publication information regarding Sampson Low's Jules Verne series, with the outlined Taj Mahal/Onion Dome front board.
