Classic translation of Marco Polo's famous travels. Includes index and maps.

Synopsis:

Marco Polo (1254-1324) spent the best part of 20 years globe-trotting from the Polar Sea to Java, from Zanzibar to Japan and probably travelled more extensively than anyone before him. His travels began in 1271 when he accompanied his father and uncle on their second visit to China.
