This is London (1959)
There are not many words in Miroslav Sasek's This is London, but those few are most memorable. The colour is magnificent and uninhibited (one gradually realises that these bold, stylized drawings are minutely accurate as well as true in general impression). The humour is characteristic and pervasive but always subordinate. The jokes are all pointed. - Times Literary Supplement.
Notes: This is London is the second This is book and undoubtedly one of the best. Sasek concentrates on the things he likes best: people, costume, transport and local details that somehow come together to form a whole impression of the city that still seems quite accurate today.
