If you scroll down the linked page, one reviewer mentions, "I'm not entirely sure, but based on a footnote in the Verne novel THE MYSTERIOUS ISLAND, I believe the book this is based on is actually titled "CAPTAIN GRANT'S CHILDREN". (Anyone who knows better, please let me know!)"

It's listed on the page I mentioned...so maybe it HAS been around. Possibly it has several titles? May also be one of those books that ended up with a different title in different countries.

I was guessing maybe it has several titles, too. Okay, now I'm obligated to read it and watch the movie again--add another one to the reading list :)
