Summary

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.
