Jan Morris's Venice

Selina Cadell reads some of Jan Morris's travel writing about Venice, the city with which Henry James had 'a perpetual love affair'.

In today's piece about the city, travel writer Jan Morris notes particularly the children of Venice - and the cats. The reader is Selina Cadell, and the programme is abridged and produced by Christine Hall.
