Godfrey Morgan: A Californian Mystery
Godfrey Morgan: A Californian Mystery is the English version of Jules Verne's 1882 novel L'École des Robinsons. Godfrey Morgan, a rich and idle young man of San Francisco, is engaged to Phina Hollaney, the ward of his uncle William W. Kolderup, who has just bought an island in the Pacific. Before settling down, Godfrey insists on seeing the world, and sets out with his dancing master, the fussy Professor Tartlet. A shipwreck leaves the two of them alone on an unknown island, where they must learn to survive. Verne plays the Robinson Crusoe story for comedy and surprise.
