A delightful book, small enough to fit into a handbag or larger pocket and dip into over coffee or a drink in Venice or when dreaming of visits. It observes Venice and its history through the animals depicted in paintings and sculpture. I was transported by the imaginative writing which adds a deeper layer to your understanding of the city. If you are a Morris fan, you will want to add this to your collection.
