Voyagers- Being Legends and Romances of Atlantic Discovery

In this captivating 1926 Newbery Honor Book, Pádraic Colum weaves together a tapestry of lesser-known folklore tales of exploration across the Atlantic Ocean and into the heart of the American continent. By blending historical accounts with imaginative storytelling, he transports readers to the vibrant gathering of Prince Henry of Portugals astronomers and explorers at the edge of Europe. The result is a delightful journey that is as entertaining as it is enlightening. (Summary by Lynette Caulkins)
