Now, if you're thinking, "Hmm, Jules Verne, where have I heard that name before?" Well, let me tell you, he's known as one of the "Fathers of Science Fiction". Yes, the same genius mind that brought us classics like "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea" and "Around the World in 80 Days". Cool, isn't it?
Born in 1828 in France, Jules Verne dreamt up some of the most remarkable adventures from his quiet study, journeys that took readers from the bottom of the ocean to the farthest reaches of space, way before we humans actually made those journeys ourselves. Can you imagine how wild and creative his mind must have been?
Alright, onto our book - "Dick Sands The Boy Captain". It's a thrilling maritime adventure that was first published way back in 1878. Want to know an interesting fact? Despite its popularity, it's one of Verne's lesser-known novels!
