Description of Genevieve Foster, author of The World of Columbus and Sons:

The world literally bursts forth out of its deep sleep and is lifted from the dark ages. With Columbus as the principal character, Prince Henry the Navigator, Ivan III, Gutenburg, Queen Isabella, Leonardo da Vinici, Mohammed II, Nomi Mansa, Martin Luther, Vasco de Gama, Copernicus, and a host of others all come to life as foster weaves this pageantry of history. It is out of the increasing enlightenment of this era of religious, cultural and scientific change that discovery and exploration began which would forever change the world as it was known.
