More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
Like the other Sasek classics, these are facsimile editions of his original books. The brilliant, vibrant illustrations have been meticulously preserved, remaining true to his vision more than forty years later and, where applicable, facts have been updated for the twenty-first century, appearing on a "This is . . . Today" page at the back of each book. The stylish, charming illustrations, coupled with Sasek’s witty, playful narrative, make these books a perfect souvenir that will delight both children and their parents, many of whom will remember them from their own childhood. In This is Australia, first published in 1970, Sasek swings down under, winging his readers into Sydney, with its famous bridge and space-age Opera House; bustling, modern Melbourne; colonial Adelaide; semitropical Brisbane; the garden city of Canberra; mineral-rich Perth; and Alice Springs, Australia’s most famous outback town.

Format:Hardcover
I have this title and the Britian title (my children have a bit of both countries in them!) and we love reading through these classic, retro books together. For now we keep them as the 'special' books because they're a bit small, but I would say from ages 5-10 they would be a brilliant resource and read for them.

A lovely Book, with lots of brilliant facts, Bought for a 7 year old child who attends my book club he is leaving to live in Australia with his family, perfect ice breaker for giving facts to his parents and making the transition of moving countries a lot easier. It is a larger format book but has beautiful illustrations and really nice for adults and children to read.

Great read for Adults to kids...
Not sure what credibility this guy has writing a book on 'another' country than where he is from - in this instance writing about Australia. Read more
