#35 in the Voyages Extraordinaires

The Cascabels are a French family of circus artists who spent several years touring the United States and plan to return home. Their savings get stolen so the family cannot afford the ship ticket. Instead, César Cascabel decides to travel overland, via Alaska and Bering Straits, through Siberia and Central Russia with their horse drawn Carriage, "the Fair Rambler" On their way, they rescue at the Alaskan border, with the help of native girl Kayette, a Russian political fugitive, count Narkine, whom they bring along so that he can see again his father in Russia. Count Narkine adopts Kayette as his daughter. In Sitka, the group witnesses the transfer of Alaska to the United States. The Cascabels journey via their carriage, an iceberg, get captured by unfriendly natives, and travel the rich countryside of Russia and the Ural mountains. Each step takes them closer to France, their home, albeit the long way around.
