Traveling Man: The Journey of Ibn Battuta, 1325-1354 by James Rumford 
Ibn Battuta was the traveler of his age--the 14th century, a time before Columbus when many believed the world to be flat. Now Rumford has retold Battuta's story in words and pictures, adding the element of ancient Arab maps as colorful as a Persian miniature. Ages 6 – 10. |
