4.0 out of 5 stars Enjoyable by all ages, 28 Oct 2006
This review is from: This is London (This Is . . .) (Hardcover)
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. He manages to take the reader on a journey through both the landmarks of his subject and the everday minutiae that makes up a country and its culture. Each book is a remarkable achievement.

It must be remembered that the chief driver for Sasek's success was the explosion of foreign travel for leisure during the 50s and 60s.

Do his books stand the test of time? Well, to be truthful the answer is no if you want up to date facts and figures. However, I cannot see how his quirky, funny pictures coupled with his subtle wit would not continue to amuse and educate children of all ages for generations to come.

5.0 out of 5 stars Super Engaging Read, 31 Oct 2009
This review is from: This is London (This Is . . .) (Hardcover)
My 6 year old was utterly engaged by this book. He chose to sit and read it cover to cover. Now when we are travelling, we buy a book from this series if we can. They make super child friendly travel guides. I thoroughly recommend.

5.0 out of 5 stars delightful, 6 May 2010
By 
G. Byrne "doublenegative" (West Sussex) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: This is London (This Is . . .) (Hardcover)
Yes, it's true that some of the facts and figures in this book are no longer valid but who cares? At the back of this reprinted edition it lists the updated information according to the page number. The illustrations stand out for me and any adult could appreciate Sasek's very individual and playful style. Oh, and my 4 year old really likes it too!
