JULES VERNES SCOTLAND IN FACT AND FICTION (PB)

‘I still see, as in a vision, beautiful, picturesque Edinburgh, with its Heart of Midlothian, and many entrancing memories; the Highlands, world-forgotten Iona, and the wild Hebrides’ - Jules Verne. Few people know that Verne had Scottish ancestry, visited the country, and wrote five novels wholly or partly set in Scotland. This book gives an account of Verne’s Scottish travels and reveals how his love for the country informed his fiction, linking settings and story elements.
