Publisher Description
Here is William Dalrymple's highly praised and greatly entertaining account of his 1986 trip made while a student at Cambridge, which retraced Marco Polo's route across land from Jerusalem to Xanadu. With him, he took a phial of Holy Oil, 600 pounds and Laura until Lahore, and Louisa from there to Xanadu.

In Xanadu
What's the rush? The narrator reads this book at such a pace that listening is not actually enjoyable. While his reading skills are impeccable and his reading fluency amazing, it makes listening to Dalrymple's book largely unsatisfying.
