Description

'The best book about Venice ever written' (Sunday Times) - Jan Morris' bestselling travel writing classic is an essential guide to this magical city, newly introduced by Tracy Chevalier.

Whether the dappled secrets of the city's canals, churches, calles and campos, to the romantic tales behind its revered landmarks, paintings, scultpures and mosaics - the myths and history of the Venetian people or the legendary mystery of the the lagoon itself -Jan Morris explores this dream-like city in impressionistic prose you will never forget. Whether visiting in person or in the mind, as an armchair traveller or tourist, this is both not only 'the essential introduction' to Venice but a true 'work of literature in its own right' (Observer).

'One of the best travel books I have ever read. It made me want to go to Venice and when I went it made being there even better.' Michael Palin

*Sara Wheeler's new biography of Jan Morris, Jan Morris: A Life, will be published in April by Faber*
