Join us as we talk to author and journalist, Rosemary Brown, about the amazing life and travels of Nelly Bly. Bly would find fame after taking on Jules Verne's fictional character Phileas Fogg who travelled the world in eighty days. Nellie Bly would show that not only was that possible but she would also beat Fogg by eight days. 

Nellie Bly also features in our latest issue dedicated to the history of exploration. The issue is available from our online store.
