272 ; 24 cm In this compelling new book, accompanying the PBS television series of the same name, historian Michael Wood, whose renowned adventures have taken him to many remote and exciting places around the globe, now goes in search of four powerful legends: Shangri-La, the Golden Fleece, the Queen of Sheba, and the Holy Grail. Gorgeously illustrated by Steve Razzetti, with full-color photographs of some of the most beautiful landscapes and cities on earth, In Search of Myths and Heroes is a series of real journeys to real places and an encounter with the living descendants of the ancient cultures that produced the four legends. From the mountains of Tibet to the coasts of Ethiopia and Yemen to the city of Jerusalem and the far west of Ireland, Wood brings us along as he separates fact from fiction and discovers why these famous stories still captivate us. 201. 3 Woo i 9780520531700 Guided by Faith and Knowledge YPSA Digital Library 201. 3 Woo i 9780520531700 My Library 201. 3 Woo i In_Search_of_Myths_%2526_Heroes.jpg.jpg 4216 2024-12-06 10:51:27 2024-12-06 10:51:54 machine generated
