Today we start a nine-part adventure as we tackle a classic by the

Great Jules Vern. Published in 1867, a journey to the center of the earth explores the lost civilization genre of fiction

which was just becoming popular at the time

Conan Doyle also had a nice showing of the genre in the lost world.

The combination of a young, reluctant and somewhat sarcastic narrator, and the

Bombastic Professor slash Explorer is common in the genre.

Fun to read and fun to perform.

I hope you like it.
