Metropolis series.
Illustrated by
Mark Bergin.
Published spring 1998. The towns, loosely based on actual ancient cities in West Africa and the Andes mountains, are explored on double-page spreads. Topics such as family life, religion, and farming are discussed in text blocks unfortunately cluttered with supplemental illustrations.
