Book 'This is Paris' by Miroslav Sasek

£9.90

The first in the series of This is books, This is Paris is a pictorial tour of the "city of light" presenting drawings of the people, historic monuments, and modern sights of Paris from a child's eye view. A three-week vacation in Paris gave Sasek the idea for writing trav

el books for children, and originally he only intended to produce three books in the series: This is Paris, This is London and This is Rome.

What the critics said about it:

'Marchons! Lovers of Paris, Marchons! Straight to this big flat picture book with dozens of fine well-placed pictures of beloved Parisian landmarks... Gaily modern are the half-caricatured people and the design, but the beautiful watercolors of buildings have an almost architectural accuracy. We love it. We hope many a teacher will use this book to awaken interest in la civilization francaise in boys, girls and their elders.
New York Herald Tribune Book Review, May 10, 1959, p.30.

[This is Paris is a] handsome and evocative picture book...presenting a potpourri of Parisian landmarks and life... Humor and sophistication mark the simple text, which is nonetheless direct and childlike in appeal. Even the child who has but a vague notion of what and where Paris is should have fun poring over the details of the distinctive illustrations and marvelling over the surprising glimpses of another way of life.
Gertrude B. Herman, Junior Books Appraised
