Captain Grant set out on a perilous voyage to establish a free Scottish settlement on the islands of the Pacific Ocean. But his ship is wrecked, and only a half-faded note in a bottle conveys fragmentary information about Grant.
Lord Glenarvan sets out on a search at his own risk, taking the captain’s children – Mary and Robert – with him. The brave travellers’ journey takes them across the islands of the Atlantic, the mountains and pampas of New Zealand and Australia, and the vast expanses of the Pacific Ocean, where all manner of adventures await them.
