About this Item

This is a stated-first edition of a very scarce early book from the pen of Roger Duvoisin, the artist and writer who brought you Petunia. This work is richly and graphically illustrated both in black and white and with full double-page color plates. This magnificent volume explores the story of the discoveries of the world through the courage and bravery of stout-hearted fellows like Marco Polo Magellan, etc. Maps are featured as part of the discovery process with some map illustrations included. The book itself is in Very Good+ condition with only the slightest loosening of the binding. The Very Good- dustjacket retains the original $2.50 price and is bright and clean, but has considerable small chipping on top front and back. The flaps have faired much better.
