Reactions:
- ‘Dr William Butcher is the world's foremost authority
on the French writer Jules Verne, and is a superb, ground-breaking
translator into English of some of Verne's classic works; apart from his
definitive, authoritative retranslations of some of Jules Verne's
best-known, and some lesser-known, works, William Butcher has
simultaneously contributed superb, original scholarship on Verne's life
and writings to the Verne scholarly community worldwide' (Kieran O'Driscoll)
