21st December – Phileas Fogg Win A Wager Day.
A day to celebrate literature. Many of you may know the name Phileas Fogg, but you may not know that he is the main character in Jules Verne’s classic novel Around the World in 80 Days, who bets that he can travel around the world in a hot air balloon in – you guessed it – 80 days.
The wager is for £20,000 (about $2 million in today’s money), so Phileas Fogg sets off on October 2nd and is due back at his clubhouse on – you guessed it again!- December 21st.
I won’t tell you if he made it, to celebrate today, start reading Around the World in 80 Days and find out for yourselves.
