markm reviewed In Xanadu by William Dalrymple
Review of 'In Xanadu' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
An entertaining account of 1.5 pairs of sarcastic British college students retracing Marco Polo's route from Jerusalem to the ruins of Xanadu. It is definitely a story of the type, intrepid white people explore the primitive ways of the rest of mankind, and they do fairly frequently seem to be idiots themselves, but I enjoyed all of it.
