Taking as her guide extracts from Virginia Woolf's diaries, journals, correspondence and rare travel essays, Jan Morris follows her footprints from Sussex and Cornwall to wartime London, and from Italy and the Riviera to Greek mountains and southern Spain. She intersperses Woolf's verbal sketches of a Greek peasant wedding, a fenland sky, an elderly spinster in a hotel lobby, and Bognor pier in the rain, with her own comments on writer and subject.
