Kubla Khan: The Emperor of Everything
Always cast in a supporting role in the many books about Marco Polo, the great Kubla Khan now takes center stage in Kubla Khan: The Emperor of Everything – a splendid picture-book biography.
He ruled over the greatest empire of the time, one that was lightyears ahead of Western civilization in terms of the arts, sciences, and technology. With astonishingly beautiful and detailed illustrations by Robert Byrd and a clever text by Kathleen Krull, this portrait finally gives Kubla Khan his due.
- About the author: Kathleen Krull remains well known for her innovative, award-winning nonfiction for young readers, which includes the successful Lives of… series. She lives in San Diego, CA
