About this author

Jessica Kerwin Jenkins began her career in New York writing for Women's Wear Daily and for W magazine, later moving to Paris, where she was W's European editor. She lived in Montmartre, but assignments took her all over Europe, and beyond, from Madrid to Copenhagen to Athens to Venice to Ibiza to Tallin, visiting villas, palazzos, chateaux, and haciendas. She once dined in the Tower of London and endured a rude massage in a steam bath in Tunis. In Jaipur she played in a surreal elephant polo match for charity.

She now writes for Vogue and lives on Maine's Blue Hill peninsula, where she also serves some Saturdays as a librarian in a one-roomed library down the road.

Ashley Hi Jessica,

I just wanted to thank you for accepting my friendship invite; I really appreciate it!

I also have to tell you that I absolutely loved reading through Encyclopedia of the Exquisite. I put it on the top of a small bookcase that I walk past a million times a day just so I could stop and read about the origins of tea and other things. It was great!


Jessica Jenkins Thanks to all those readers who have added "Encyclopedia of the Exquisite" to your to-read queues. That is so exciting!
