1492, New World Tales
Adventure with each turn of the page.
This collection of authentic stories, recalling as far back as the 1490's, promotes discovery and instills a sense of adventure. These tales have been carefully crafted to sound as exciting and mysterious as they were when first told five hundred years ago by sailors around a lantern on a ship, shared by explorers reclining around a campfire, enjoyed by Native Americans in a grass hut, whispered inside a stone palace in the Totonac city of Zempoala, or fondly remembered by an adventurer back home in Europe.
This snapshot of 1492 will incite adventure and imagination, as readers follow these new world tales of courage and exploration. 1492 is a collection of traditional tales, fables, and legends from the cultures brought together or affected by this great age of exploration and discovery. Included are stories from Spain, Portugal, as well as the mainland and island cultures encountered across the Atlantic.
