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.
