Hola, me llamo Finn y voy a ayudarte a entender este libro.

Aquí está, explicado como si tuvieras 10 años:

Hace mucho tiempo, un caballero inglés dijo que salió de casa en 1322 y viajó durante años por Tierra Santa, Egipto, la India y la lejana Catay, y este es su libro. Habla de lugares santos, de grandes kanes, de las maravillas de la tierra del Preste Juan y de criaturas en el borde del mundo. El texto aquí es la edición Macmillan de 1900. Léelo como lo leían los lectores medievales, con asombro, y disfruta de uno de los libros de viajes más antiguos en inglés.
