    From a history lover

    This book is not worth reading. It tells us that no one knows when John Cabot was born or where he was born, or where he grew up. It also tells us that no one knows for sure exactly where he sailed. No one knows for sure how or where or when he died. That is exactly what I knew about John Cabot before I read the book. The book has nice pictures in it.
