Tibet by Peter Sis

Tibet by Peter Sis

When Peter Sis unlocked the red laquered box that sat on his father's desk for decades, he found the diary his father kept when he was sent to Tibet in the 1950s to instruct the Chinese in documentary filmmaking. Amongst the experiences Vladimir Sis recorded included becoming lost after a landslide, trekking to Lhasa and meeting the young Dalai Lama. In Tibet: Through the Red Box, Peter Sis juxtaposes these journal records with childhood recollections of his father's tales of Yetis, magical messengers and a Boy-God-King. Sis replicates the diary's spidery handwriting and illustrates his father's fantastical adventures with exquisite, intricately stylised artwork. In this very personal book, Peter Sis fuses captivating details and mystical elements of the Tibetan culture with dreams, memory and imagination.

Peter Sis is the author of Starry Messenger: Galileo Galilei, a 1997 Caldecott Honour Book. He was born and raised in Czechoslovakia, where his mother was an artist and his father a filmmaker. He studied painting and filmmaking at the Academy of Applied Arts in Prague and at the Royal College of Art in London and is known internationally for his award- winning books and films. Tibet: Through the Red Box was recently chosen as a 1998 Caldecott Honour Book.
