#5 the Treasures of Kublai Khan: Sam 'n Me (Tm) Adventure Books (Volume 5) Dr. Branton K. Holmberg

Ever heard of Xanadu? Well I hadn't either but there was somethin waitin there fer us that was one of the wonders of the world. There was a Mongol war lord named Kublai Khan, the grandson of Genghis Khan. He became the ruler of all of China 'n ya know how big that is. He fought some really tough battles, specially with his brother. He won 'em all 'n became the richest, 'n most revered ruler China had ever known. His favorite hangout was Xanadu where he built himself a summer palace. That's where we went trying 't track down a huge part of them treasures the Chinese people had given him. He'd hid 'em away somewhere 'n we thought we was hot of the trail of 'em. I'll tell ya this, old Kublai Khan was a wily rascal 'n meant fer them treasures of his never 't be found. We follered ever clue we could find 'n met with failure after failure. Yer gonna be surprised at how we got 't Xanadu 'n even more surprised at what we found when we got there. Yer gonna like the old Prefect of Xanadu, I know we shore did. Get yer warm duds on cause I'm takin ya where it gets mighty cold. Glad yer along agin pard. Gramps
