On the heels of the runaway bestsellers This is New York and
This is Paris, Universe is pleased to reissue another title
from M. Sasek's beloved and nostalgic children's travel series. Like the other Sasek classics, This is Ireland is a
facsimile edition of his original book from the 1960s and is
still timely and current in every way. The brilliant,
vibrant illustrations have been meticulously preserved,
remaining true to his vision more than 40 years later and,
where applicable, facts have been updated for the
twenty-first century, appearing on a "This is...Today" page
at the back of the book. The stylish, charming
illustrations, coupled with Sasek's witty, playful
narrative, makes for a perfect souvenir that will delight
both children and their parents, many of whom will remember
this book from their childhood. This is Ireland, first published in 1964, brings the Emerald
Isle to life, where the shamrock grows and a leprechaun
stands at the end of every rainbow, guarding a crock of
gold. There's Dublin with its bustling crowds, tall
steeples, and Trinity College; there's Clonmacnois, the
burial place of kings; there's the Blarney Stone to kiss for
eloquence, and much, much more in this verdant, friendly
land filled with enchanted lakes and mountains that fall
steep to the sea.
