A fascinating guide to Van Gogh's itinerant life, with vibrant images and stories about the many places he lived and worked. Vincent van Gogh travelled widely through various countries in Europe on foot, by boat and, above all, by train.

Brimming with colourful pictures, historic photographs, letters, detailed maps and other documents, this book enables readers to join Vincent on his journeys from Z to A: from Zundert in the southern Netherlands (where he was born), through London and Paris, to Auvers-sur-Oise in France (where he died).
