Anna Jessen

Anna Jessen is an author who has worked in the book trade. Her novels explore subjects including the North Sea, its islands, and Hamburg in the 1950s and 1960s. Her works include the coastal series “Die wandernden Inseln” and “Die Traumfrauen.” Jessen has a particular interest in the music and fashion of the 1950s and 1960s. The idea for “Die wandernden Inseln” arose from old nautical charts showing that some islands had shifted position, others had changed considerably, and some no longer existed.
