Description
From the Back Cover
A small piece of parchment with an age-old code leads Professor Hardwigg, his nephew Harry, and their Icelandic guide Hans on a never-to-be-forgotten journey down into a mountain in search of the center of the earth. Following the trail of a man who had been dead for centuries — but who claimed to have reached the center of the earth and returned — they encounter rock tunnels, underground seas, wild weather, prehistoric animals, giant cavemen, and a mighty volcano … all combining to try to prevent them from completing their Journey To The Center Of The Earth.

Shipping
Generally sent the same day payment arrives. Unless you request otherwise, I will wrap the book in plastic wrap to help protect it from the elements, create a custom-made cardboard box to ship it in, and send via Media Mail with Delivery Confirmation tracking. See the shipping page for the cost to send a one-pound Media Mail package. Insurance is an additional cost as described. I am delighted to combine postage and insurance costs if you purchase more than one item. The second item may travel for free or just a few cents more — so it’s worth taking a look at my other items before you complete your order.
