This Is Munich

This is Munich provides a colourful, romantic and unique tour of Munich via the deft paintbrush strokes and witty voice of master illustrator and storyteller M. Sasek. This charming, elegant and gloriously illustrated book has a timeless vision and captures the adventurous spirit of one of Germany's most visited cities. Sasek introduces children - and many adults alike - to the ancient Bavarian capital. Stops include the New Town Hall, the Frauenkirche cathedral and Munich's most famous beer hall. With bright pictures and snappy commentary, This is Munich explores all the fascinating things to do and see in this German seat of culture. Like the other Sasek classics, This is Munich is a facsimile edition of his original book, which was first published in 1959. The brilliant illustrations have been meticulously preserved and facts updated for the twenty-first century. The charming illustrations coupled with Sasek's playful narrative make for a perfect souvenir that will delight both children and parents.
