This book is described as being 'in a genre all its own'. Truly it
is. Simeon the cat has two ambitions. the first is to become
famous, which is why he writes this book, and the second is to meet
the White Rabbit. While pursuing these goals, he takes time to air
his views on Oxford, Mr Bean, the internet, on how the British do
not value words, and on a while host of other things. He guides us
through Oxford's history, landmarks and legends, and provides an
entertaining and original introduction to the city. Over-confident
in his ability to reason, he enjoys talking with academics and
students. All use their real names in the story - Profs of Physics
and Medieval German, and postgraduate students. He creates havoc in
Blackwell's, discovers an unpublished poem. by Gerard Manley
Hopkins, and lays plans to take the grin off the face of the
Cheshire Cat. Does he really meet the White Rabbit? It seems he
does! Oxford is unique in so many ways. It is the only city in the
world where one is in and out of stories all the time. Morse, Mr
Bean, Bridgehead, Dickens, Alice in Wonderland, Harry Potter. There
is no book that does the job of this one in linking story to
reality. It's laugh-out-loud funny, in a dry, sixth-form-humour
way. You'll love it!
