Into the Unknown - Tudor Explorers John and Sebastian Cabot Margaret Nash
Set in 1497, this story is seen through the eyes of Sebastian Cabot - then a boy of fourteen and later to become a famous explorer in his own right - who accompanied his father on the historic voyage aboard the Matthew when they discovered Newfoundland on the northeast coast of America. This wonderfully illustrated story gives a real feeling for the life and outlook in Tudor times, and the excitement and danger of sea voyages.
