(2) 4-6 Illustrated by Roxie Munro. Intrepid travelers all, the dauntless subjects of these eight short biographical essays are compelling companions for armchair explorers. Subjects include Richard Burton and Ernest Shackleton; the inclusion of several less-famous personalities adds interest and a fresh perspective. The fast-paced, descriptive narrative is accompanied by illustrations that, while interpretive, are lacking the artist's usual flair. Bib.
