Anno's aerial tour of Spanish landscapes and townscapes is timeless: along with sightings of 20th-century architectural and artistic icons (Sagrada Familia, Guernica, etc.) there are also scenes of 15th-century ships at sea, olive harvesting, country fairs and religious processions, and the running of the bulls at Pamplona. Throughout, there are nods to Spain's literary, artistic, and cultural heritage. Close observers will catch glimpses of Don Quixote and his corpulent companion, a melting clock à la Dalí, flamenco dancers, and Barcelona's human pyramid. Tableaus (of Las Meninas, scenes from Carmen) add whimsy, while the inclusion of the Alhambra and a Roman aqueduct pay tribute to the country's history. While suitable for picture collections, this title would also be a great addition to Spanish-language classrooms.–Daryl Grabarek, School Library Journal\u003cbr\u003eCopyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e**STAR SELLER **\u003cbr\u003eSmooth shipping\u003cbr\u003eSpeedy replies\u003cbr\u003eSmoke free home\u003cbr\u003eFree shipping\u003cbr\u003e85","brand":"Three Pigeons Bookshop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46992700047558,"sku":null,"price":70.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0749\/7983\/6102\/files\/il_fullxfull.7097399800_3ixo.jpg?v=1788115205","url":"https:\/\/threepigeonsbookshop.com\/products\/annos-spain-by-mitsumasa-anno-first-edition","provider":"Three Pigeons Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
