Roger Allam reads from the 1766 travel memoir by Tobias Smollett. He and his wife set off on a long journey, determined to see France and Italy, but was rarely happy with what he found there. The horses in France seem uncontrollable; even more so when Smollet decides to demonstrate his blunderbuss. A Pacificus production for BBC Radio 4.
