Auteur

Norm Longley was brought up in Somerset, attending schools in Yeovil and the Quantocks, before studying at university in Bedfordshire. The urge to travel then kicked in and after a period of time in Canada, he went to live and work in Novi Sad, Serbia for several years during which time he travelled extensively around many of the neighbouring ex-Yugoslav countries, including Montenegro. After returning to the UK he turned his hand to writing guidebooks, living in London and Cambridge before resettling in Somerset, which is very much home base now. He has also written for The Guardian and the Independent.This guide was originally written by Annalisa Rellie, who happily spent a quarter of a century exploring the world with her diplomat husband. When they settled back in London she turned her hand to journalism, writing in a freelance capacity for magazines about travel and food. Her passion for Montenegro, which began with a press trip in spring 2000, continued to grow exponentially as she worked tirelessly on four editions of this, the first English language guide dedicated exclusively to the country. Annalisa died in early 2014.
