At the age of seventeen, Marco Polo left his home in Venice for an adventure that lasted almost a quarter of a century. Five years later, imprisoned in Genoa, he collaborated with the author of Arthurian romance literature, Rustichello of Pisa, on a work they called The Description of the World. Their book recounts 'all the greatest marvels and the great diversities of Greater Armenia, Persia, the Tatars, India, and many other provinces.' In Marco Polo and His World, Sharon Kinoshita brings these marvels to life, describing the rich goods, plants, people, and animals that Marco encountered and recorded. With rich illustrations and spanning from Venice, Genoa, and Pisa to Khanbaliq, Quinsai, and Zaitun, this is a vivid depiction of Marco Polo's remarkable adventures.
