Peter Fiennes is the author of several books. His latest, En Route: A Journey Round France in the Company of Great Writers (Oneworld, May 2026) is the ultimate literary tour which takes readers from the Normandy coast to the Cote d’Azur in the company of writers as diverse as Edith Wharton, Colette, Katherine Mansfield, Sartre, Maupassant and many more. Sebastian Faulks described En Route as a ‘brisk literary travelogue … witty and packed with gossip; it moves at the speed of a TGV, with the elegance of a Citroën DS.’ Previous books from Peter Fiennes include A Thing of Beauty: Travels in Mythical and Modern Greece (Oneworld, 2022), Footnotes: A Journey Round Britain in the Company of Great Writers (Oneworld, 2019), Oak and Ash and Thorn: From Ancient Woods to the New Forests of Britain (Oneworld, 2017) and To War With God (Mainstream, 2011). As the former publisher for Time Out, Peter nurtured a lifelong obsession with old guidebooks, creating award-winning city guides, walking books and titles about Britain’s countryside and seaside. He lives in south-west London.
