The Medici Balls: Seven little journeys in Tuscany
by Anna R. Sheldon, Marjorie Moyca Newell
About the author
Anna R. Sheldon is the credited author of Pistoja (1904), a guidebook focused on the Tuscan city of Pistoia, and co-author with M. Moyca Newell of The Medici Balls: Seven Little Journeys in Tuscany, also published in 1904. The surviving catalog and digitized-book records point to a writer interested in Tuscany’s art, architecture, and local history.
Because biographical information about her is scarce in the sources I could confirm, it is safer to describe her through the work itself than to fill in uncertain personal details. Her books suggest a warm, observant approach to travel writing, inviting readers to explore Italian places through culture and historical memory rather than through hurried sightseeing.
