500			_aIn 1322, Sir John Mandeville left England on a thirty-four year pilgrimage. He returned and wrote a book claiming it was possible to circumnavigate the globe. For centuries none doubted Sir John, many regarding him, not Chaucer, as the father of English literature. In the nineteenth century, sceptics questioned his voyage, and suspected that he never left England at all, and that The Travels was a work of imaginative fiction. In The Riddle and the Knight, bestselling historian Giles Milton unearths clues about Mandeville's journey and reveals that The Travels is built upon a series of riddles which have, until now, remained unsolved.
