A childhood favourite, however I have to point out an error I noticed this time around. The North Pole section shows a map which the writers claim to be by an English monk, Nicholas of Lynn, in the 14th Century. The map however shows North America on it and that can't be right obviously. It turns out the map is a 1595 creation by Mercator, based on ideas of the Arctic purportedly by the former.
