Description

Like the other Sasek classics, these are facsimile editions of his original books. The vibrant illustrations have been preserved, remaining true to his vision, and where applicable facts have been up to date, appearing on a “That is…These days” page behind each and every book. The charming illustrations, coupled with Sasek’s witty, playful narrative, make for perfect souvenirs if you want to delight both children and their parents, many of whom will needless to say them from their own childhood. That is Britain, first published in 1974, encompasses the nation’s many facets, from the mystery of Stonehenge to the monuments of the British Isles. Among his stops are the White Cliffs of Dover; Brighton’s Prince Regent’s Royal Pavilion; the castles and Tintern Abbey in Wales; and Scotland’s four Royal Palaces and long lochs. That is Israel, first published in 1962, visits the Promised Land, a sun-drenched panorama of many hues and lots of traditions. From the Sea of Galilee to the Red Sea (it’s actually blue); from brand new Tel Aviv to Jerusalem new and old; from Mt. Zion to King Solomon’s mines; Sasek presents the biblical glory of its past and the golden hope of its future.
