Adventures of the Treasure Fleet: China Discovers the World

(4) 4-6 Illustrated by Lak-Khee Tay-Audouard. This fictionalized account tells of Chinese admiral and explorer Zheng He's expeditions between 1405 and 1433. Bowler's "summary of historically agreed facts" at the bottom of each double-page spread offers additional information but makes the reading disjointed. The text is accompanied by handsomely detailed, golden-hued colored-pencil illustrations. No specific sources are listed. A large map poster is included.
