About this audiobook
“Here be dragons…and a lot of stories that would make a dragon blink. A fascinating kaleidoscope of people and places and Things That Might Have Been―or Might Be.” ―Diana Gabaldon, New York Times bestselling author
From Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea to Journey to the Center of the Earth, from the fabled island of Avalon to the lost oasis of Zerzura, from The Land That Time Forgot to the golden city of El Dorado, storytellers have long imagined what exists beyond the edges of the map.
