“Anderson regales us with tales of Leonardo’s brilliant, often mischievous nature, and the nearly unfathomable range of his inventions.”
—The New York Times Book Review

Leonardo da Vinci was one of the world's most famous artist, and he was also one of the world's most remarkable inventors. He incented: shoes that could walk on water, a self-propelled armored tank, and the world's first parachute.
