Coast to Coast - About the Author

Jan Morris burst onto the literary scene as a young reporter for the London Times, when, as James Morris, she accompanied the 1953 British expedition that made the first successful ascent of Mount Everest and scooped the world with a report that hit the papers the very day of Queen Elizabeth II' s coronation. Morris is the world-renowned author of more than 40 books, including The World of Venice, Hong Kong, Sydney, The Matter of Wales, and Pax Britannica, which was hugely popular when released and remains an enduring work of literary history. Morris is considered Britain' s foremost travel essayist and historian, and is an Honorary Fellow of the University College of Wales. She has received numerous nominations for the Booker Prize. Coast to Coast reveals the talents of this young writer who would go on to produce book after book of engaging social, and world, commentary.
