Marco Polo intrigued audiences with his tales of magnificent palaces filled with precious stones, rivers filled with gold, and "men with tales" who threw nuts as big as a man's head. He described things no European before him had ever witnessed, yet no one believed him. While they were sure this remarkable visionary could tell amazing stories, they were equally certain he had never visited these wondrous places he described. Yet he had, almost 200 years before Christopher Columbus ever set sail for the New World. This action-packed story captures the greatest highlights of Marco's astonishing adventures throughout India, China, and many other exotic lands far from his native home in Italy. His spirit of adventure opened up new worlds to his European contemporaries.
