Wanted to share a series of books that we are really enjoying at the moment. The World Explorer series, the children and I have really been enjoying these books. We have read about Roald Amundsen (South Pole), Ferdinand Magellan (the first person to sail all the way around the world) and Henry Morton Stanley (Explored and mapped interior of Africa) we still have more to go, Columbas, Marco Polo etc. I don't know if these books are still in print but a must to grab at any used book sales.

Can you tell us who the author is? I googled it but only came up with a geography textbook series.
