Jan Morris was born in 1926 of a Welsh father and an English mother, and when she is not travelling she lives with her partner Elizabeth Morris in the top left-hand corner of Wales, between the mountains and the sea.
Her books include
Coronation Everest, Venice, The Pax Britannica Trilogy
(
Heaven's Command, Pax Britannica,
and
Farewell the Trumpets
), and
Conundrum
. She is also the author of six books about cities and countries, two autobiographical books, several volumes of collected travel essays and, more recently, the unclassifiable
Trieste and the Meaning of Nowhere
. A collection of her travel writing and reportage from over five decades,
A Writer's World
, was published in 2003.

Praise for Jan Morris:
âExquisite, powerful and profoundly tender, just as fresh as the time it was written⦠I first read
Coronation Everest
in a tent in Uganda, and promptly wrote to the author, astonished by the achievement â it utterly changed my life. I feel gratitude and delight each time I open its pages.' Simon Winchester on
Coronation Everest
âMorris's imperial trilogy [are all] marvellous works of imagination and re-creation underpinned by travel and scholarship.'
Ian Jack, editor of
Granta
, on
The Pax Britannica Trilogy
âA revelatory and moving memoir⦠Morris's wise and painfully honest writing illuminates not only the confusion of sexuality, but the mystery of life itself. In a new introduction, Morris describes the book as a period piece. She does herself an injustice. It is a classic.'
Michael Arditti in
The Times
on
Conundrum
âIn typically lyrical and vivid prose Morris uses Trieste as a metaphor for her own life as an exile, brilliantly weaving musings on love, patriotism, civility and old age with fact and personal memories. A richly introspective and satisfying book.'
Clover Hughes in the Observer on
Trieste and the Meaning of Nowhere
