Description
Book SynopsisAn introduction to Miroslav Šašek, the world-famous creator of the This Is series of children's books.
Trade Review'For a large number of humans on earth, their first cultural encounter with the feeling of many cities or countries, came from the pens and brushes of Miroslav Šašek. Paintings and drawings that were part realism, part gestural, but entirely convincing and always charming' - Oliver Jeffers
'Overall, this sharply focused, beautifully designed book is as immersive, informative and fun for the adult reader as any of the 'This is…' titles remain for children' - V&A Magazine
'A fascinating overview from author [Martin Salisbury] and a hugely welcome addition to this important series' - @coloursmayvary
