In his Book of Marvels and Travels, Sir John Mandeville describes a journey from Europe to Jerusalem and on into Asia, and the many wonderful and monstrous peoples and practices in the East. Written in the fourteenth century, the Book is a captivating blend of fact and fantasy, an extraordinary travel narrative that offers some revealing and unexpected attitudes towards other races and religions. It was immensely popular, and numbered among its readers Chaucer, Columbus, and Thomas More. Here Mandeville tells us about the Sultan in Cairo, the Great Khan in China, and the mythical Christian prince Prester John. There are giants and pygmies, cannibals and Amazons, headless humans and people with a single foot so huge it can shield them from the sun. Forceful and opinionated, the narrator is by turns learned, playful, and moralizing, with an endless curiosity about different cultures. Anthony Bale provides a lively new translation along with an introduction that considers questions of authorship and origins, the early travel narrative, Crusading and religious difference, fantasy and the European Age of Discovery, and Mandeville's pervasive popularity and influence. The book includes helpful notes on historical context that provide insights into medieval culture and attitudes. There are also three maps, an index of places and a general index, and a note on medieval measurements.

They love it! Good quality toy.
Color: Orange
My dogs love this ball. The texture is perfect. They like being able to bite it. It doesn’t tear apart when they do either. Other interactive balls I’ve purchased have been hard plastic and much louder. Everyone is enjoying this toy more than those. It’s so fun to watch the dogs play with this. Video is from the first moment it arrived. They both play with it hard now. We’ve had it three days. I’ll update its longevity if it’s shorter than I feel it should be.

Keeps dogs busy.
Color: Orange
The dogs love this ball. They are afraid when it vibrates but as soon as it jumps and moves around, they are on it. They will play with it for quite awhile. Charge lasts for a long time. Very durable. This dog can tear anything apart but it's still in one piece.

Good for smaller jawed dogs.
Color: Orange
This ball is so much fun for our 5 month old. He both chases it and lets it bounce in his mouth. This was after playing with it already for 10 minutes. The ball charges with a usb charger and lasts for a long time. I do take it away to keep the toy fresh and prevent him from just chewing on it. I will say the ball startles you a bit when it turns on in your hand. Happy with a different toy.

Extremely durable, highly recommended!!
Color: Orange
This ball was a game changer for us!! I rehomed an extremely needy 110 pound one and a half year-old male Rott. This ball has been keeping him engaged for hours giving a much-needed break to me.😜 it actually stays charged a lot longer than I thought it would, and so far he is not chewed through it at all, which is incredible to me!! I think I’m gonna order another one so that I can have one charging while he plays with one and then switch off with them.
