A vacation in Paris inspired Miroslav Sasek to create a series of children’s travel guides to the big cities (and countries) of the world.

You can easily sense his loving eye for detail, childlike curiosity and playful sense of fun….I’ve earnestly enjoyed sharing with our three children, the 60s tour of the landmarks and streets meeting colourful characters in the world’s cities.

Miroslav was born in Prague in 1916 and died in Switzerland in 1980. He worked as a painter and illustrator for most of his life, and enjoyed foraging for mushrooms in his spare moments.

This is San Francisco was first published in 1962 and has been re-issued.

Escape into charming, cosmopolitan San Francisco…with its hills, crooked streets, clattering cable cars and king size crabs.

At the close of the book, you will find an update to the original text, pointing out any updates to the original descriptions and new wonders of the city.

Start an heirloom collection for your family.

by Caroline, 02/09/2010			an amazing store....and a new addition to our collection I recently purchased This Is San Francisco at Tribe in Mossman to add to our collection of the Mirosav Sasek city books. First of all, what a hidden treasure of a store! I got such a surprise to discover Tribe on a recent family holiday in Port Douglas! We have two children aged 4 and 6 who delight in our nightly adventures around the world. The illustrations and text are perfect for little minds and adults alike. I look forward to memories of our reading of the city books being treasured in years to come. Right now San Francisco is their newest favourite! Thank you the Tribe girls-it was lovely to meet you and I look forward to popping in and seeing your latest finds online! Congratulations!
