Book review: Ferdinand Magellan
This dramatized account of Magellans life and voyage may draw younger or less able readers with its graphic-style presentation. the large, easy-to-read panels of art offer figures in period costume who pose and emote with rousing theatricality in depictions of the troubled expeditions hardships and other major events described in the boxed passages of running commentary. this entry in the Junior Graphic Famous Explorers series supplies the basic facts without looking like obvious assignment reading.
