Ibn Battutah - ethnographer, biographer, anecdotal historian and
occasional botanist - was just twenty-one when he set out in 1325
from his native Tangier on a pilgrimage to Mecca. He did not return
to Morocco for another twenty-nine years, travelling instead
through more than forty countries on the modern map, covering
seventy-five thousand miles and getting as far north as the Volga,
as far east as China and as far south as Tanzania. He wrote of his
travels, and comes across as a superb ethnographer, biographer,
anecdotal historian and occasional botanist and gastronome. With
this edition by Tim Mackintosh-Smith, The Travels of Ibn Battutah
takes its place alongside other indestructible masterpieces of the
travel-writing genre. Designed to appeal to the book lover, the
Macmillan Collector's Library is a series of beautiful gift
editions of much loved classic titles. Macmillan Collector's
Library are books to love and treasure.
