Assisi-the hill-top city of birds and bells-has, apparently, other attractions that the KUide-books ignore and few people know about. But to see and hear about them one had better meet the retired English priest who lives there. Neville Braybrooke talks about a tour of the city he made with him and a walk to the Carceri Wood where St. Francis preached to the birds.
