Traveling Man: The Journey of Ibn Battuta, 1325-1354

40 pp. | Houghton | September, 2001 | Trade ISBN 0-618-08366-9 $$16.00
(2) 4-6 Battuta, a Moroccan boy, became a legendary traveler, journeying some seventy-five thousand miles by foot, camel, and ship. Rumford incorporates Battuta's own words, set down for him by a scribe, and condenses the adventure into a multilayered picture book. The sumptuous paintings add absorbing detail. This blend of romantic adventure/biography/history is a fine account of wanderlust, offering tantalizing glimpses of the medieval world. Glos.
