Morocco to Timbuktu by Alice Morrison
The Book of the BC2 Series Morocco to Timbuktu: An Arabian Adventure Timbuktu. A city of legends and myths hidden in the heart of Africa. It was once the richest city on earth. Its greatest king changed the route of the Niger just so his wife could have a bath. Alice Morrison follows the ancient, lost salt roads from the top of Morocco across the burning sands of the Sahara to find the fabled city itself. This book is a good old-fashioned adventure with death-defying donkeys, a severe case of gold fever and plenty of goat gizzards for dinner. It explores of one of the most dangerous routes in history which brought gold, salt and slaves across the Sahara and up to Europe. It is stuffed full of facts but never stuffy. It's also a peek behind the scenes at how a TV documentary is made and gives you an insiders' view of the process through the eyes of a very funny, first-time presenter. You'll laugh, you'll cry and you'll be an asset to any pub quiz history round by the end of it.| SKU | Unavailable |
