The World of Columbus and Sons is a history for young readers that follows the age of exploration through the family of Christopher Columbus and his sons, Diego and Fernando. Rather than telling only the story of one voyage, Genevieve Foster places Columbus within a wider world, showing what was happening at the same time in Europe, Asia, Africa and the Americas. Politics, trade, science and the arts of the period are woven together with the travels and ambitions of the Columbus family, so that readers see how the discoveries of the late fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries connected distant peoples and places.
