20,000 Leagues Under the Sea

This adaptation begins: "In the years 1866 and 1867, something extraordinary happened - something which nobody could explain, and which people still remember today. Across the world, people could not stop talking about it, and for those who worked on a boat or ship, nothing was more important."
