A review by corvinaq
Round the Moon by Jules Verne, Fiction, Fantasy & Magic by Jules Verne

4.0

The sequel is another book of wonderful buoyancy and optimism. Our heroes have been shot from a cannon in the direction of the moon, but *spoiler* some space debris knocks them off course! As a result their projectile (and all the chickens, dogs, vineyard seedlings that are in it) ends up as the moon's satellite. Eventually they shoot off some rockets and make it back to earth, landing in the ocean. Huzzah! I thought this book was lovely, and especially enjoyed the image of the travelers playing dominoes as they are fished from the sea.
