Win a copy of Following Nellie Bly

In 1890, investigative journalist Nellie Bly raced alone through a ‘man’s world’ to beat Phileas Fogg’s fictional record in Around the World in 80 Days. She managed it in 72 days, covering 21,740 miles by ocean liner and train. Some 125 years later, adventurer and author Rosemary J Brown retraced Bly’s footsteps in an expedition registered with the Royal Geographical Society.

To celebrate this pioneering woman, you can get your hands on one of five copies of Following Nellie Bly, each worth £14.99, and experience Brown’s recreation of a record-breaking journey across the globe for yourself. To enter, and for full Terms and Conditions, see below. Promotor: Pen and Sword.
