Customer Reviews

A lovely book, with gorgeous illustrations!

This is a fascinating book, and a historical set piece. It is the story of Christopher Columbus from a very well-meaning author, who focused on lovely illustrations at the price of historical accuracy. Christopher is portrayed as a happy lad, begging to do the right thing. Everything goes well: "The Nina bounced from wave to wave. Spain at last!" or "Next came the Indians all smeared with paint..... the people were quite afraid." I would buy it as a curiosity - The illustrations really are wonderful.
