Description

Like the other Sasek classics, this can be a facsimile edition of the original book. The brilliant, vibrant illustrations have been meticulously preserved, remaining true to his vision more than 40 years later. Facts have been up to date for the 21st-century, appearing on a “That is . . . Lately” page behind the book. These charming illustrations, coupled with Sasek’s witty, playful narrative, make for an excellent souvenir that allows you to delight both children and their parents, many of whom will keep in mind that the series from their own childhoods. This is Rome, first published in 1960, traces the history of Roman civilization to bring to life the Rome of the 60’s. Sasek navigates Rome’s busy, winding streets to consult with such glorious historical landmarks as the statues of Michelangelo, Vatican City, the Pantheon, and the Fontana di Trevi-and to show us the eccentricities of up to date Roman life, from its colorful trains, trams, and taxis to its chic espresso bars and pasta houses.
