A compilation of abridged versions of M. Sasek's most popular children's travel books. From London to Hong Kong, Sydney to San Francisco, readers will delight in this charming journey through the world's great cities. With deft strokes of his paintbrush and a witty voice to match, master illustrator and storyteller M. Sasek captured the essence of the world's major capitals and brought them to life for an entire generation of young readers.
