Ibn Battuta
1 Reviews
(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.
