Rooms of Their Own travels around the world examining the unique spaces, habits and rituals in which famous writers created their most notable works.

The perennial question asked of all authors is, 'How do you write?'. What do they require of their room or desk? Do they have favourite pens, paper or typewriters? And have they found the perfect daily routine to channel their creativity? Crossing centuries, continents and genres, Alex Johnson has pooled 50 of the best writers and transports you to the heart of their writing rooms – from attics and studies to billiard rooms and bathtubs.

From James Baldwin, writing in the small hours of the morning in his Paris apartment, to DH Lawrence writing at the foot of a towering Ponderosa pine tree, to the Brontë sisters managing in a crowded co-working space, this book takes us into the lives of some of history's greatest ever writers, with each writing space illustrated in evocative watercolour by James Oses.

本书环游世界，考察世界闻名的作家创作其知名作品的独特空间、习惯和仪式。

所有作者常年都会被问到的一个问题是：“你是如何写作的？”他们对自己的房间或桌子有什么要求？他们有喜欢的笔、纸或打字机吗？他们是否找到了引导他们创造力的完美的日常工作？亚历克斯·约翰逊（Alex Johnson）收集了50位杰出作家，带你从阁楼、书房到台球室、浴缸的中心参观他们的写作室。

詹姆斯·鲍德温（James Baldwin）凌晨时分在他的巴黎公寓里写作，DH·劳伦斯（DH Lawrence）在高耸的黄松树脚下写作，勃朗特姐妹在拥挤的联合办公空间里写作，这本书带领我们进入历史伟大作家的生活，每一个写作空间都由詹姆斯·奥塞斯（James Oses）用令人回味的水彩画加以说明。
