Europe: An Intimate Journey, by Jan Morris. 'This is Jan Morris's finest book.' Michael Leapman, Country Life

Europe has been widely acclaimed as among the finest achievements of 'one of our greatest living writers' (The Times). A personal appreciation, fuelled by five decades of journeying, this is Jan Morris at her best - at once magisterial and particular, whimsical and profound. It is a matchless portrait of a continent.
