For JAN MORRIS was formerly JAMES MORRIS , one of Britain's best-known writers and journalists - The Times correspondent of the 1953 Everest expedition, author of Venice, Oxford, Pax Britannica and Heaven's Command.
Her new book tells her story of her change of sex, ' the tragic and irrational ambition, instinctively formulated and deliberately pursued, to escape from maleness into womanhood.'
Also Churchill - a Photographic Portrait - photographs and cartoons of Sir Winston Churchill, many previously unpublished, selected by his official biographer, Martin Gilbert.
