This is Edinburgh: 08/02/20
This is Edinburgh by Miroslav Sasek is the fifth book in the This is... series. This one is a 1960's look at the capital of Scotland. I read this book for two reasons: to continue with the series, and to get a quick primer since two of the YAs I was reading were set there. Having never been to Scotland and not really knowing much about the country I can't really comment on how accurate Sasek's portrayal was or how much it has changed since first publication. I can say that it's another journey through a well-known city via Sasek's distinctive art style. The artwork holds up and the facts about the city are still interesting. Newer editions will include an afterword with a list of things that have changed between original and current publication runs. The next book is This is Munich (1961). Four stars Comments (0) |
