Facsimile edition of a beloved, long out-of-print children`s classic. The charm and uniqueness of New York City was never more beautifully and whimsically created for children than in Miroslav Sasek`s This Is New York. First published in 1960, his vision of New York nearly forty years ago still remains fresh: the hustle and bustle of Times Square, the ethnic neighborhoods, the awe-inspiring architecture. Sasek captured the essences of New York that delight children and parents, many of whom who will remember the book from their childhood.
