Kipling and France, 1st of 2: Rather a Motorious Letter [30min]

At Rudyard Kipling's former home in Sussex the garage still houses one of his last Rolls-Royces. The writers Julian Barnes and Hermione Lee investigate the way motoring shaped Kipling's view of England and France in his stories, poems and his detailed motoring journals. Rudyard Kipling's words are read by David Haig.
