About this title

About the Author:

Irish-American short-story writer, novelist and poet. Donn-Byrne's work is notable for its use of lyrical prose and fantasy. The grace of style and amalgamation of imagination with reality are the hallmarks of his work.

From AudioFile:

This is a strange but often pleasant book. Efrem Zimbalist, Jr., enters into the spirit of the narrative, using an Irish brogue and a surging pace for this retelling of the story of Marco Polo. At times, the combination is odd; to have Polo speak longingly of his Venice home or his Chinese love in an Irish accent is jarring. Since the book was published in 1921, the books place names and other references are so dated that it isnt always clear where the storyteller is. That said, this romantic account of what took Polo to China, what he found there, and his adventures along the way is pure fun.
