The Mysteries of Angkor Wat: Exploring Cambodia's Ancient Temple

44 pp. | Candlewick | August, 2011 | Trade ISBN 978-0-7636-4166-5 $17.99
(4) 4-6 Sobol gives a personal, even casual, account of his visit to Cambodia's massive twelfth-century temple complex, the world's largest religious structure. An especially appealing section pairs photos of temple carvings with pictures of contemporary Cambodians engaged in similar activities (e.g., carrying water buckets, playing native instruments). There's some romanticizing of Sobol's experiences--and of historical record--in this otherwise inviting photo-essay. Glos.
