Stanfords Children's Book of the Month for November 2021 is The Trans-Siberian Railway Illustrated by Anna Desnitskaya, Text by Aleksandra Litvina.
A gloriously illustrated journey through Russia along the length of the Trans- Siberian railway.
The Trans-Siberian railway links Russia like a sewing thread on which towns and villages are skewered like pearls. This large-format book takes readers on a fascinating journey along its whole length, from Moscow to Vladivostok, a journey that takes seven days and covers over 5,700 miles. In a striking style, reminiscent of a graphic novel, readers will discover facts about the journey and the history of the railway, but will also hear from local people who live along the line as they share details of their lives, their favourite places, and everything they would like to tell travellers on the Trans-Siberian railway. The book also includes tips such as how to organize one’s life on the train and what souvenirs to look out for.
A large-format, beautifully illustrated book that takes readers on a train journey across Russia, from Moscow to Vladivostok.
Divided into four sections - Europe and the Urals, Western Siberia, Eastern Siberia and the Far East - each of which features a few pages dedicated to the region, with advice for travellers and stories about the towns and cities at which the train stops.
The authors invited children who live beside the Trans-Siberian railway to share their thoughts on life in Russia, and their stories are included here.
The Trans-Siberian Railway is available to buy for £19.99
