In the introduction to the English edition, editor I. O. Evans said that he chose replace two stories as they were "lacking in general interest". He described the first omitted story, "La Famille Raton", as "so absurdly fantastic that one cannot be certain whether Verne meant it seriously'" and said that "Le Humbug" required "no translation".{{Cite book |last=Evans |first=Idrisyn Oliver |author-link=I.
