When curious storytellers Rowlan and Vespera uncover dusty guidebooks in their museum attic, they embark on a whirlwind pilgrimage to the world’s most famous landmarks. At each site—from Pisa’s tilted tower to Dubai’s sky-scraping Burj Khalifa—they spin playful legends of wind gods, water sprites, and stone guardians, while weaving in real engineering marvels and cultural facts. Along the way, they befriend local children, collect family tales, and post illustrated adventures on their Landmark Legends blog. Their journey culminates in a joyous festival where families of all backgrounds share mini-models, performances, and regional treats—proving that these monuments aren’t just stone and steel, but living stories.

Description

Rowlan’s gift for spinning vibrant stories and Vespera’s boundless passion for cultural lore make them the perfect team—and when they discover a trove of guidebooks in their sleepy town museum, they know the world is calling. This book follows their whirlwind tour of twenty-five of humanity’s greatest landmarks, from the Pyramids of Giza to the Sydney Opera House, each chapter blending imaginative folklore with real-world architecture and history. You’ll meet friendly engineers, local children, and museum curators who share secrets of construction, geometry, and artistry. As Rowlan crafts tall tales—of wind gods tilting towers and dragon-like cables holding bridges—and Vespera adds colorful sketches and factual depth, you’ll learn how each monument came to be and why it endures. By the final festival back home, we hope you’ll see these wonders not only as breathtaking structures, but as chapters in our shared human story—waiting for you to explore and imagine.
