BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

In 1907, Edith Wharton and Henry James made a journey through France in a Panhard car with two small dogs, Edith's husband and a chauffeur named Cook. Michael Bakewell presents an account of their stately progress and of the friendship of the two remarkable writers, who observe the landscape and each other with wry humour. Joss Ackland plays Henry James.
