Marco Polo
Marco Polo was seventeen when he set out for China ...and forty-one when he came back! More than seven hundred years ago, Marco Polo travelled from the medieval city of Venice to the fabled kingdom of the great Kublai Khan, seeing new sights and riches that no Westerner had ever before witnessed. But did Marco Polo experience the things he wrote about ...or was it all made-up?

truly does justice to the journey that this extraordinary traveller took. Fascinating and beautifully produced. * Booksellers' children buying guides *
