.This Is Paris City Travel Guides > Books > This Is by: Miroslav Sasek 1959-05 I totally disagree with the "review" that said that this book was suitable for children up to the age of 10 only. Although my children are only six and nine and both hugely enjoy all the Sasek books, my husband and I also fully endorse the content and pictures, old-fashioned as it may be; moreover, whoever we have shown the book to, young and old, have instantly said, "I simply must have that book" or "I simply must get that book for so and so, etc." Some of the out of date factual information has been updated in the back of the book, and so what, any way? - what a treat to see the world how it was fifty years or so earlier, a lot more picturesque than it is now, and therein lies its charm. I would certainly prefer this book ... Read More: >>See More Reviews & Details on This Is Paris |

.This is London City Travel Guides > Books > This Is by: M Sasek 1966 I am so pleased that the "This Is" series of books by Miroslav Sasek are back in print. Elsewhere, the comments on Sasek's work have been "only good for children up to 3 years!" Well, I'm in my fifties and I intend to collect the ones I most enjoyed as a child, such as This Is San Francisco and This Is Rome. In an age of electronic wizardry Sasek's books stand out as a reminder of a time when books were the chief form of entertainment and education. Sasek's art and wit are truly original and unique.

It must be remembered that the ... Read More: >>See More Reviews & Details on This is London |
