The Monsters of the Seas with their plot bring the seventy-year-old author back to his beautiful childhood years. In his carefree age, Jules Verne met an old sea wolf, Capitaine, in a tavern at the port of Nantes, who enchanted the young boy with the most incredible sea stories that he told him.
And so, one day, thirsting for adventures, Jules ran away from his parental home to secretly embark as a cabin boy on a merchant ship. But Verne's father caught the runaway... and gave him a good scolding!
After about sixty years, the now-famous Jules Verne remembered his childhood adventure, 'crafted' it masterfully with pen and ink, and published it under the original title The Tales of Capitaine. Even the surnames found within the Monsters of the Seas mostly belong to relatives or friends of Jules Verne!
