A new edition of a beloved, long out of print children's classic.
This is Rome, first published in 1960, traces the history of Roman civilisation to bring to life the Rome of the 60's. Sasek navigates Rome's busy, winding streets to visit such glorious historical landmarks as the statues of Michelangelo, Vatican City, the Pantheon and the Fontana di Trevi. We are shown the eccentricities of modern Roman life from its colourful trains, trams and taxis to its chic espresso bars and pasta houses.
Sasek captures the essences of Rome that will delight children and parents, many of whom will remember the book from their childhood.
