The Travels of Sir John Mandeville
This was a tremendously popular work in its day,much more so than the Travels of Marco Polo. The author,however, never went to China; and most of the book is a fancifulplagiarism of Odoric and others. Thus, most of it is bullshit --but extremely interesting and influential bullshit.
