This is London was one of eighteen books by Sasek, published between the late 1950s and early 70s.  Children are transported to locations all over the globe, experiencing the culture of each place. Filling the pages of these books are lush, often humorous illustrations with bold color washes and textures in a style distinct to Sasek. These books capture the feel of the 1960s, featuring figures dressed in slender retro clothing; however, stylistically the illustrations still don’t feel too out of place in the today’s modern world.
