    About Meet Christopher Columbus

    When Christopher Columbus was young, he worked for his father making cloth. But he did not want to be a cloth-maker all his life. He
    wanted to see new lands and have adventures. He wanted to be a sailor! By the time he was 25, Christopher had sailed to France, Africa, and Greece. He had seen strange cities and had many adventures. But his greatest adventure would come when he set out for China and found a whole new world instead.

    About Meet Christopher Columbus

    Schoolchildren will be fascinated by this clear account of Columbus’s voyages and his encounters with storms, Indians, and political intrigue.  A map of the world in Columbus’s time and a detailed drawing of the Santa Maria add depth to this exciting, real-life adventure tale.
