Imagine a boy who lives at a time when many people still believe the world is flat...Imagine him standing on a sea wall, gazing at the horizon and wondering, listening to merchants and sailors as they unload their cargo...Imagine him dreaming of faraway places and people, like those he's read about in The Travels of Marco Polo. Through intricate and richly detailed pictures, Peter Sis takes us into this 15th-century world, giving a remarkable artist's interpretation of the Columbus story. Recommended for ages 7 and up.
