The Atlas of Legendary Lands captures a period when the world still held room enough for wonders to exist, and presents the alternative earth imagined by our not-too-distant ancestors. It was a world of imaginary lands with stunningly improbable inhabitants - a world sought, and sometimes found, by explorers as notable as Columbus. Highly illustrated, The Atlas of Legendary Lands reproduces many of the historical maps discussed in the text, maps filled with bizarre inaccuracies and imaginings. This larger format history title, with its eyecatching, embellished cover, will make the perfect gift for any history lover.
