DescriptionIn Search of the Castaways (French: Les Enfants du capitaine Grant, lit. The Children of Captain Grant) is a novel by the French writer Jules Verne, published in 1867-1868. The original edition, published by Hetzel, contains a number of illustrations by douard Riou. In 1876 it was republished by George Routledge & Sons as a three volume set titled A Voyage Round The World. The three volumes were subtitled South America, Australia, and New Zealand. (As often with Verne, English translations have appeared under different names; another edition has the overall title Captain Grants Children and has two volumes subtitled The Mysterious Document and Among the Cannibals.)
