The charming illustrations, coupled with Sasek's witty, playful narrative, make for perfect souvenirs that will delight both children and their parents, many of whom will remember them from their own childhood. This is Britain, first published in 1974, encompasses the nation's many facets, from the mystery of Stonehenge to the monuments of the British Isles.

Zion to King Solomon's mines; Sasek presents the biblical glory of its past and the golden hope of its future.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Author and illustrator M.
