A Spanish medieval Jew travels the earth for decades before returning home. Astoundingly beautiful and evocative of many places in the mediaeval Mediterranean and middle Eastern world. There is a central narrative on each page, with many smaller bits of information or story (including many of the more sobering parts) around the edges. The story can be read without those extra parts for younger readers, and they can discover the surrounding parts of the story as they read themselves.
