JAN MORRIS


janmorrismages.jpgWriting from all places around the world, Jan Morris has a fantastic eye for detail and adds deep historical angles for her eclectic list of stories. Though Morris has written several books, my favourite is Journeys.

In this book, Jan Morris explores the great cities of the world, including Shanghai, and among her adventures (locking her keys in a car in Texas was one such episode) she contiues on with the same curiousity, relaxed spirit that you dont want the book to end, though Morris ends the book with the curt admission of her sense of accomplishment having seen all the worlds great metropolises.

And that’s where she leaves you.

Perhaps the best part of reading Journeys is this ending.....
