Kingston and is printed in Everyman’s Library by special exclusive arrangement with Messrs Sampson Low, Marston & Co., Ltd., 1909. The present book was translated into English by the late W.H.G. Jules Verne must indeed have gained enough by it and its two connective tales to have acquired an island of his own. It gained its vogue immediately in France, Great Britain, and overseas besides being translated, with more or less despatch, into other European tongues. We may count it, taken separately, as next to Robinson Crusoe and possibly Treasure Island, the best read and the best appreciated book in all that large group of island-tales and sea-stories to which it belongs. It formed the third and completing part of the Mysterious Island set of tales of adventure. The Secret of the Island was another of the series of Voyages Extraordinaires which ran through a famous Paris magazine for younger readers, the Magasin Illustré. ![]()
