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 up to date for the twenty-first century, appearing on a “That is . . . These days” page in the back of every book. The stylish, charming illustrations, coupled with Sasek’s witty, playful narrative, make these books a really perfect souvenir as a way to delight both children and their parents, many of whom will understand that them from their own childhood. In That 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, brand new Melbourne; colonial Adelaide; semitropical Brisbane; the garden city of Canberra; mineral-wealthy Perth; and Alice Springs, Australia’s most famous outback town.
