Our travels leave us with a story to tell. But even if we stay at home and read a lot, we can do the same. This is what Jean de Mandeville did, although we don’t even know if he ever really existed. He is credited as the author of fascinating tales that took the Middle Ages by storm. No wonder, because in his stories we encounter dragons, three-horned creatures, and people with only one, giant foot.
