Description

At the heels of the runaway bestsellers This is New York and This is Paris, Universe is pleased to reissue some other title from M. Sasek’s beloved and nostalgic children’s shuttle series.

Like the other Sasek classics, This is Venice is a facsimile edition of his original book from the 1960s and is still timely and current in each and every way. The brilliant, vibrant illustrations have been meticulously preserved, remaining true to his vision more than 40 years later and, where applicable, facts have been up to date for the twenty-first century, appearing on a “This is…Lately” page in the back of the book. The stylish, charming illustrations, coupled with Sasek’s witty, playful narrative, makes for a perfect souvenir that allows you to delight both children and their parents, many of whom will needless to say this book from their childhood.

This is Venice, first published in 1961, presents indelible impressions of romantic, watery Venice, where under a brilliant blue sky Sasek the gondolier navigates the winding canals to consult with such famous and glorious landmarks as the Palazzo Grassi, Piazza San Marco, Doges Palace, and the Accademia di Belle Arti.
