A mine that should have been mined out years ago. A series of inexplicable events. A city that suddenly appears almost at the centre of the earth. Mining engineer James Starr discovers that his former colleague Ford lives with his family in the depths of the mine. When Ford discovers a large vein of coal that remains underground, an endless stream of questions arise for both Ford and James, but one remains the biggest, and most pressing - should the secrets of the mines be uncovered, or are they best left buried? Jules Verne (1828-1905) was a French novelist. Renowned for his contributions to the adventure fiction genre, he mainly took his inspiration from the scientific advancements of the nineteenth century. His work is widely popular with both children and adults, particularly his series 'Extraordinary Travels’ which included ‘Journey to the Center of the Earth’ (1864), the 2008 film adaption of which was wildly successful.

An abandoned mine with mysterious unexplainable happenings is the setting for this adventure by Jules Verne. Jules Verne was born in 1828 in France. His dream was to write a new kind of novel, which combined scientific fact with fiction. Verne eventually wrote 40 novels in his Voyages extraordinaires series. "What one man can imagine, another will someday be able to achieve." Is a quote from an article in the Encyclopedia Britannica that sums up Verne so well. The Underground city is set in the mining town of Aberfoyle. James Starr is asked by a friend to come to the mine. When he arrives he finds the mine overman and his family living deep inside the mine. Simon Ford has found a rich vein of coal but the men must deal with mysterious unexplainable events at the mine while mining the ore.
