The Million Stories of Marco Polo

32 pp. | Creative Editions | September, 2016 | Trade ISBN 978-1-56846-290-5 $18.99
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Maria Cristina Pritelli. A dialogue (in different typefaces) between a Venetian boy and a fictional scribe relates episodes from Marco Polo's travels. While the text, accompanied by intriguing paintings in muted tones, focuses more on the nature of "truth" in storytelling than on the adventures themselves, the handsome book could inspire further research on Marco Polo's life and exploration.
