A true travelogue

Franc and Jean Shor, a young American couple, set out to follow the seven-century-old trail of Marco Polo, from Venice to Peiping, which lies along the boundary of no man’s land where Iran, Russia, Afghanistan and China meet. Only a handful of Westerners had crossed these high passes and unexplored valleys; border skirmishes were frequent; strangers were automatically assumed to be strangers. Jean Shor writes with humour, warmth and sensitivity of these strange lands and exotic people. Set in the context of Marco Polo’s journey, this is at once a vivid travelogue and a story of adventure.’
