| Plot Summary of The Journeyer |
|---|
"This is a sprawling, epic adventure told by Marco Polo of his REAL adventures and travels, the marvels he encounters, the terrors, the wise and evil rulers, the wonders of the East. Like all Jennings' books, he comments on everything and everyone and grows from a naive boy to an intelligent, thoughtful, admirable man. Wonderful, engrossing story. "
