Petr Sís: The Three Golden Keys Pevná

Petr Sís: The Three Golden Keys Pevná

The world-renowned artist brings to life the magic of Prague and its legends. In this allegorical tale, a man in a hot-air balloon is thrown off course in a violent storm, landing him in the city of his youth. He finds the way to his old home, but the house is dark, with three rusty padlocks on the door. A black cat with eyes of fire appears and leads him through Prague's silent streets and monuments in search of the three golden keys that will open the door of his boyhood home and restore the city to live. In this reissue of one of his most personal works, Peter Sís recaptures the wonder of his own lost childhood in Prague and celebrates the city's wonderful cultural heritage, reborn after forty-five years of Communist rule. He wrote it for his young daughter, Madeleine, who is growing up in the New World so that when she is old enough to understand it she will have a record of the strange and wonderful heritage that is her birthright. “The fairy-tale capital has found its artist in Peter Sís. His brilliant homage to his hometown is at once charming and grave, filled with countless nuances and details that only a loving eye will notice . . . Like all the best children's books, this is one an adult will keep reaching for. For Peter Sís has succeeded in creating a book not only for the child but for the adult she will one day be.” — The New York Times Book Review
