Known for her glamorous pursuits and doomed affairs, Princess Margaret has gone down in history as the frolicsome foil to her ever poised and solemn sister, Queen Elizabeth II. However, a new book by veteran biographer Meryle Secrest turns this ill-fated narrative on its head, approaching her life as more of “an investigation than a biography.” Secrest works to understand Margaret with a sense of compassion rarely offered to her legacy before. Here, readers can finally comprehend what Secrest calls Margaret’s “curse,” which stems from the suggestion that the Queen Mothe drank heavily while pregnant with Margaret.

Since it first opened, in 1843, the 15-acre Tivoli Gardens in Copenhagen has embodied two key Danish values—sophistication and egalitarianism. The 38-room Nimb hotel, in a fanciful 1909-vintage palace adorned with strands of lights on the southern edge of the park, is among the best places to stay. Run by a charming young team, it delivers flawless service that is warm and welcoming, and the spacious, beautifully decorated rooms are filled with sleek Scandinavian furniture, mixed with an antique or two. Thanks to views that overlook the park, guests experience a ringside seat to the daily fireworks show. An on-site bakery churns out cardamom rolls that complement the delicious breakfast spread, and for those who tire of New Nordic Cuisine, the Nimb’s casual brasserie hits a bull’s-eye. Don’t miss the tiny, peeled pink shrimp from Skagen with freshly made mayonnaise, mussels, steak tartare, and lemon sole! (nimb.dk) —Alexander Lobrano

Ready, set, shop: Grace Coddington has designed a new capsule collection for Louis Vuitton that will make you the envy of your social circle (and social-media followers). Dresses, pajamas, sandals, blankets, and bags are all part of the fun of Louis Vuitton Travels with Grace Coddington. The flame-haired creative director has looked to her cats for inspiration, and her felines, Blondie, Blanket, and Jimi, make appearances in all sorts of clever ways as they visit the Amazon rainforest, the Great Wall of China, and other out-of-this-world destinations. We intend to start with the Neverfull Inside Out bag, which uses Coddington’s illustrations to great effect in both a background print and a brand stamp. And then, perhaps the silk pajamas, and a bag charm, and perhaps the cat collar too … ($2,820; louisvuitton.com) —Ashley Baker

Norman Lewis started traveling long before he had the notion to document his journeys. He was quite happy to go abroad “by third-class train, county bus, on foot, by canoe, by tramp steamer, and by Arab dhow,” but it was his desire to capture “the images which were always slipping, fading, dissolving, taking flight” that led him to the pen. His range of topics was extraordinary: Ibizan fishermen, Ernest Hemingway, Seville, the Mafia, and the genocide of South American Indian tribes. You can read all about them in A Quiet Evening, a collection of 36 articles by Lewis written over five decades. (He died in 2003 at age 95.) It comes with a splendid introduction by John Hatt, who knew the nomadic writer well and deserves our eternal thanks for founding Eland in 1982, the publisher of this book along with dozens of out-of-print travel books. Make sure to check them out, too. ($37.95, amazon.com) —Jim Kelly
