Marco Polo (Life & Times)

Marco Polo (Life & Times)

by JonathanClements (Author)

Synopsis

The records of the Chinese Yuan dynasty do not mention a Marco Polo at all (and they should), and there are some suspicious omissions from Polo's text - no tea, no foot-binding, no mention of Chinese printing, or even of the Great Wall. Did Polo even go to China?
