1254-1323

A brief biography of the life and travels of thirteenth-century explorer, Marco Polo.

Sixteen-year-old Marco Polo, with his best friend Amelio, sets out from Venice, Italy, in 1300 to rescue his father from weird creatures of the Unknown Lands of the East, who are commanded by one whose sinister plans threaten the entire Earth.

Marco Polo's travels are recorded in a diary and scrapbook such as the great explorer might have kept.

Maps, illustrations, and easy-to-follow text introduce students to Marco Polo's travels through Asia more than seven hundred years ago.
