About This Book

This beautifully illustrated book tells the true story of Ibn Battuta, a 14th-century traveler from Morocco who journeyed across Africa, Asia, and beyond for 29 years, covering roughly 75,000 miles between 1325 and 1354. Author-illustrator James Rumford recounts the adventure with poetic language and colorful artwork inspired by Persian miniatures and medieval Arab maps, woven through with Arabic calligraphy. Readers follow both the far-off lands Ibn Battuta visited and what this extraordinary journey meant to him as a person.
