Caravan to Xanadu

A novel of Marco Polo. In the thirteenth century, Mediterranean Europe was in a passionate ferment--restlessly reaching out for new lands, new achievements, new exploits. And Marco Polo was its brightest symbol of adventure. From the father who scorned and denied Marco Polo, to the unbelievably lovely slave girl who shared the tumult of his heart, Edison Marshall has filled this exciting romance with utterly real human beings. And such is the magic of his pen, that one is indeed transported to those reckless, lavish days, to share the personal adventures of Marco Polo and his caravan as they journey perilously to the fabulous lands of Kublai Khan.
