[The Robinsons Cycle] The Robinsons School/[Europe] The Green Ray by Jules Verne. Illustrations by L. Benett. Paris, Collection Hetzel (for Le Rayon vert) and Hachette (for L'École des Robinsons), sd (ca 1907 for Le Rayon vert) and 1916 (for L'École des Robinsons). Large double in-8°. Hetzel-Hachette publisher's full percaline polychrome boards "with an elephant title in the cartouche". Gilt edges. Blue endpapers. Three hors-texte plates in colours (for Le Rayon vert). Printed by Belin (for Le Rayon vert) and by A. Dersé (for L'École des Robinsons). Notebooks a little out of order. Otherwise, a fine copy of this particularly rare title in polychrome boards. Le Rayon vert is here placed by the publisher before L'École des Robinsons, as always when it is still a Hetzel edition decorated with polychrome hors-texte and the other title is a Hachette reprint.
