Description: LIFE OF AN EXTRAORDINARY WOMAN - JAN MORRIS THIS BIOGRAPHY EXAMINES THE LIFE AND LEGACY of one of the most beloved writers in the English language - Britain's Jan Morris who died in 2020 at the age of 94, the author of more than 50 books all of which were gobbled up by her legions of admirers around the world. Ms Morris was a journalist, travel writer and historian and a proud Welsh patriot who described places and events with the fluidity of a novelist. She was a prolific writer but will probably be remembered best for three works - her profile of Venice, a definitive study, her Pax Britannica trilogy that examined the rise and fall of the British Empire, and Conundrum, a deeply moving account of her pioneering sex change procedure. Before the gender change, she was James Morris, a successful newsman who scooped the world with his report of the first conquest of Mount Everest in 1953. THE HARDCOVER BOOK ON OFFER by Pal Clements is in fine condition with clean, crisp and unmarked pages, a firm and square binding that has no corner bumps and an intact dust-jacket. There are numerous black-and-white photographs from the Morris family album and, in addition to a general index, there are source notes. This book appears to be awaiting its first reader.
