"The Secret of the Island was another of the series of Voyages Extraordinaires which ran through a famous Paris magazine for younger readers, the Magasin Illustr .

It gained its vogue immediately in France, Great Britain, and overseas besides being translated, with more or less despatch, into other European tongues."
