Learning about Marco Polo

We had a great time learning about Marco Polo this week, and ashamedly the children always thought Marco Polo was just a game they played in the pool. We read this book together below, and I found it lovely to learn a lot too, it is amazing how different parts of history in my mind is slotting together. The only thing I found frustrating about the story of Marco Polo is that there seems to be a lot of doubt surrounding the journals and accounts that Marco Polo kept of his travels. Many things don't seem to tie up and lots of facts seemed to be hugely exaggerated and embellished.


Eden read this book herself and enjoyed it tremendously.
