Very well set out and easy to read Very well set out and easy to read, the language is well put and the descriptions of people and places visited are excellent. Well worth a read i only to understand more about the amazing life of people in the past. Distance was calculated by the number of days travelled – it was well before the use of maps, distance and sat navs!
Was in Real? Debated and re-debated constantly. Loved the idea of Prester John. This is an interesting story of racism and prejudiced opinions with the acceptance of different peoples as long as they are a conquoring power. Only the strong survive and the travels have lasted, although their authenticity is constantly questioned
Five Stars Thank you
