Deník přírodovědce, který v době páry a velkých cest ztroskotal na odlehlém ostrově a objevil tam řadu zvláštních zvířat, pobaví a zaujme nejen dětské čtenáře. Dvojveverka luční, citroňák cukrodárný nebo tufýž jednorohý – to je pouhý zlomek živočichů, za jejichž spatření by dnes každý ředitel zoo dal půl zahrady a pandu navrch... A k tomu stopa po tajemném obyvateli ostrova: zmizel, nebo tu dosud někde je? Zápisky, ztracené víc než sto let, objevila a k vydání připravila Olga Černá, ilustrace fantastických zvířat pořídil Miroslav Šašek. Pro přírodovědce od osmi let, ctitele dobrodružství a milovníky záhad, jichž je naše Země plná.

A dětským i dospělým čtenářům je také věnována kniha Toto není kámen, jež vedle průvodce To je Řím glosuje autorův pobyt v Itálii a svým způsobem vyjadřuje obdiv k antickému umění – žertem a koláží.

Zum 100. Geburtstag von Miroslav Sasek: Die Prachtausgabe mit den schönsten Seiten aus allen Städte- und Länderbüchern! Über einen Zeitraum von 15 Jahren bereiste Miroslav Sasek die Welt – zu einer Zeit, als man Fernreisen nicht im Internet buchte. Mit großem Witz und einem einzigartigen Stil zeigte er den Daheimgebliebenen, Kindern wie Erwachsenen, was er dort gesehen hatte: die Hot-Dog-Verkäufer in New York, die Dachterrassen Roms, die Kathedralen Großbritanniens, das pulsierende Leben in Paris, London, San Francisco und Hongkong, die Wunder von Griechenland und Israel. Er bestaunte das legendäre Opernhaus in Sydney und amüsierte sich über die Schottenröcke in Edinburgh. Und natürlich widmete er München einen Band, der Stadt, die für einige Jahre sein Lebensmittelpunkt wurde. Am 16. November 2016 jährt sich Saseks Geburtstag zum 100. Mal und dieser prächtige Band, der sorgfältig ausgewählte Seiten all seiner Städte- und Länderbücher versammelt, soll dem großen tschechischen Zeichner, Geschichtenerzähler und Reisenden ein kleines Denkmal setzen – und uns heutige Leser auf eine ebenso charmante wie hinreißende Zeitreise mitnehmen.
