  • Product Description

    In 1177, Pope Alexander III wrote a letter to the Priest-King of the Indies, Prester John. As his emissary, he chose his physician, Master Philip. No one knew where the legendary monarch?s kingdom lay (or, indeed, whether he even existed), but Master Philip was undeterred. He supposedly set out from Venice?and was never heard of again. Centuries later, Nicholas Jubber found a copy of the pope?s original letter and conceived a plan: to complete Master Philip?s mission and deliver the letter, albeit 824 years late. Passionate, exuberant, charming, and crammed with arcane history, The Prester Quest is the gloriously entertaining account of his journey.
