IT WAS GREAT
Golden Legacy of the Golden Horde Written in straightforward language which will appeal to younger students this short biography presents the life of young Marco Polo of Venice until his old age Accompanied by simple but authentic pen and ink sketches this little gem provides an excellent introduction to the extensive travels in exotic and unknown lands A map shows both the overland route East and the sea route West back home Eighteen years in the court of fabulously wealthy and wise Kublai Kahn [...]
You can t really treat this like a normal book it was written well, dictated by Marco Polo as a memoir of his travels decades after he visited some of these places As a historical text, it s quite interesting It helped to look up some critiques and analysis of the text.
This was aimed at an elementary school audience That is why I didn t like it much I m not sure even elementary age children would care for it.
