Summary: A modern family's journey to retrace Marco Polo's route
Review: Retracing Marco Polo is the travelogue of a modern family's journey to retrace Marco Polo's route to China. Comparing older texts and modern maps to plot a course, then following a winding route through Venice, Jerusalem, Turkey, and China (the trail through current-day Iran and Afghanistan was closed to them, so they went through Pakistan instead), they took in the sights, scenery, and experiences of pure adventure. Inset sections of color photograph plates illustrate this enjoyable narrative of setting out to walk in the footsteps of greatness.
