Bato Tomasevic, born in 1929 in Kosovo, was the seventh child of a Montenegrin family which till 1945 lived in Kosovo and Montenegro. He has written a dozen books, mostly on art, and collaborated with Oto Bihalji-Merin in writing and editing the unique Encyclopedia of World Naive Art.
"'Amid the many books published about former Yugoslavia over the past fifteen years, this one stands out -- a moving memoir that reads like an enthralling historical novel. Toma'evic's book opens a unique window into a lost world of the Balkans in the twentieth century.' -- Dejan Djokic, author, Elusive Compromise: A History of Inter-War Yugoslavia (Columbia University Press)
