I am reading again after decades this novel, in the translation by Routledge recommended by Art Evans.
 
This seems to be highly readable version and the story is, with only a few exceptions, a fast-paced adventure.
 
Sadly, tho, if it is known at all today to English-speaking readers, it is through the Disney connection.
 
My impression is that it is still widely read on the continent, however, and occupies something of the status of a classic.  Is that correct?  At what age might readers be tackling it?
