Snippets of Serbia - an Illustrated journey by Emma Fick

My partner is learning Serbian and I bought this as a gift for her. We both love it, it is beautiful, very visual, a little quirky, humorous and surprisingly informative. Don't expect the avalanche of detail you'd get from a proper travel guide, this is more a book to browse and delight in. Recommended.

Snippets of Serbia is a great travel illustration of Emma Fick's time spent in Serbia.The book is divided into different regions of Serbia showing illustrations of food, architecture and people going about their everyday lives.The majority of travel guides now by the big companies have become monotonous, repetitive and quite frankly boring.I hope the author may do other snippet guides on other countries, I think illustrations accompanying travel guides are the way forward.

Love this illustrative and simple insight into Serbian life, folklore and habits. Having a serbian parent left me smiling and laughing throughout as it is what it is, rich in daily facts and habits. If you want to know what makes a Serb tick then read on.

Informative and funny. I've chuckled at the old sayings I've already heard, and then learned quite a lot. Will be useful on my next visit to Serbia.

This is the 3rd copy of the book that i am baying; great present for anybody coming from West Balkans

Bought as a present for a friend and she loved it.

Tolles Buch, ist zu empfehlen.

Adorable illustrations and witty observations that capture the beauty and sometimes absurdity of life in Serbia. As a native of the country, I love Emma's "outsider" perspective, because it's one that comes from experience, respect, and good-will. I strongly suspect I'll buy more to give out as gifts for English-speaking friends.

Bought one for myself and a few for my children’s teachers who have a few Serbian students in their class.

The best book about Serbs! Wonderful, true, to laugh…,perfect Gift for strangers!
