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 Texas was originally published in 1967 and now re-issued. All budding Presidents and oil tycoons will enjoy this adventure into the big-ness of a classic American city.
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.
