In A Venetian Bestiary the travel writer Jan Morris explores the animals, real, imaginary and artistic which haunt the city of floating dreams, her favourite city. This beautiful new edition is illustrated with photographs and art which perfectly complement Morris' words.

Of all the cities that the travel writer
Jan Morris knew, it was Venice which held a special place in her heart, a place
she knew intimately and about which she wrote with great passion and knowledge.
In A Venetian Bestiary she explores the animals, real, imaginary and
artistic which haunt the city of floating dreams. This new edition is a beautiful
small hardback, illustrated throughout with paintings and photographs which perfectly
accompany Morris' words. With a new introduction by Sophy Roberts.

Jan Morris (1926-2020) was an acclaimed writer about places and people, well known for her books about Venice and Trieste, especially. She was one of the first high-profile people to undergo gender realignment surgery, recalled in her memoir Conundrum; and as James had been the journalist who first brought news of the ascent of Everest. Sophy Roberts is a journalist and author. Her first book The Lost Pianos of Siberia was highly praised; her next A Training School for Elephants will be published in 2025.
