• A Venetian Bestiary by Jan Morris

    Of all the cities that Jan Morris knew well, it was Venice that held a special place in her heart, a place she knew intimately and wrote about with great passion. In A Venetian Bestiary she explores the animals – real, imaginary and artistic – which haunt the city of floating dreams. A beautiful little book, fully illustrated, with a new introduction by the acclaimed journalist and author Sophy Roberts.

She was also the author of six books about cities and countries, two autobiographical books and several volumes of collected travel essays.

It was followed by a second volume of diaries, Thinking Again, in 2020, and then her posthumously published final book, Allegorizings, in 2021. Jan Morris spent the last years of her life with her partner Elizabeth Morris in a corner of Wales between the mountains and the sea.
