Librivox recording of Around the World in Seventy-Two Days by Nellie Bly.
Read by Mary Reagan
This is a true account by American woman journalist who, in 1889, set out to see whether she could beat the fictional journey in Jules Verne’s 1873 novel, Around the World in Eighty Days. Wearing one dress and carrying one handbag, Elizabeth Cochrane Seaman (pen name “Nellie Bly”), reported her travels back to avid readers in America.

This is the second Librivox audio book of Nellie Bly's that I've listened to and I have to say that it is rather excellent. The reader is outstanding in the role.
The books text is "journalistic" in that it is of an episodic newpaper like presentation. The writer showed enthusiasm and delight at all of the environments she found herself in and the reader has brought this to life. In fact even if you dont like the story I think you'll be enthused by the reading.

Thanks to Mary Reagan for taking the time to read to us the compelling story of Nellie Bly's adventure in her attempt to circumnavigate the world to beat Phileas Fogg's fictitious attempt to do the same in 80 days.
Mary did a great job in holding the reader's interest as she strived in her endeavor to have the listener believe that it was Nellie Bly herself regaling her journey.
It is a story well worth a listen.
