The famous English illustrator Stephen Bisty came up with a book that is entertaining and educational at the same time. A solid leather bound tome is amazing, and the plot here is almost a detective story: the artist Stephen receives a letter from his high school history teacher. Page after page, the teacher sends riddle cards to him, guiding a faithful student from one city to another, from one famous architectural structure to the next — all in order to find the mysterious Golden City. Stephen Bisty, the hero of the book and its author, not only tells the story of the most famous buildings in the world, but also shows them in his amazing panoramic drawings. Readers will visit Ancient Greece, Mexico, Istanbul, New York. You won’t be bored for a minute, especially since the book also contains an envelope with stickers, a poster and a panorama, which you need to assemble yourself from cardboard parts.
