Four drawings for a children's geographical encyclopedia with rich illustrations by Jiří Kalousek. "As a person of your age, I had a great dream of becoming a native. But I should have remembered sooner." Jiří Kalousek longed for faraway lands and produced a book that literally tens of thousands of children longed for and has been reprinted. Illustrations accompany the chapters: Vietnam, Gambia, Australia, Mexico. Framed under anti-reflective glass with UV filter.
