Announcing Elizabeth Sharland's new book:

Passionate Pilgrimages

From Chopin to Coward

A guide and fascinating look at the homes and studios of legendary composers, artists and writers across Europe. It captures the essence of their work and life styles, including photographs and anecdotes. 

"Elizabeth Sharland will squire you to places you never thought you'd go, in impeccable language and with rare grace. Learn, then, how George Sand whiled away the hours with Chopin at Chateau de Nohant, and spend some time with Somerset Maugham at Cap Ferrat near Nice. Katherine Mansfield charms us in Menton, alongside Franco Zeffirelli in Positano, Italy, Cole Porter in Paris, Paul Bowles in Morocco and Lady Gregory in Ireland. The illustrations are lavish, offering visual clues to the geniuses that inhabit these pages. Travel with Sharland as you have never travelled before ...a blessing on your cranium."
