Discover Oxford's amazing stories, from Z for Zoo (yes, Oxford once
had a zoo until three dangerous animals escaped) to A for Answers
(there's a quiz question for every letter). Revel in true tales of
Oxford's oddballs, pranksters, poets, murderers, explorers,
scientists, actors, criminals and politicians (there may be some
crossover here). Learn and laugh about Oxford's curious customs and
peculiar protocols. Its eccentric academics and funny fellows. Its
ancient university and even older town - and how they've often come
to blows. Find answers to the following questions: who burned down
half of Oxford cooking a pig? Which plant has killed more people
than any other, according to Oxford boffins? Who went to sea as a
pirate after graduating from Oxford? Which gruesome body part did
Lord Nuffield keep pickled in a jar in his bedroom? Which college
was put up for sale on eBay by rival students? Taking the reader on
a journey through Oxford's colourful past, this book brings to life
a city known around the world. With quirky illustrations and comic
tales, it offers a reading adventure that's informative and fun.
