What do movable dolls' eyes have to do with a Catholic church?
Where could you meet Plain Bob Maximus and Surprise Major? Why does
just one person know where Oliver Cromwell's head is buried? And
where is a dog a very large cat? The answers to all these questions
lie in Cambridge, which combines the magnificence of a medieval
university with the dynamism of a high-technology hub. Tens of
thousands of visitors flock to Cambridge every year to see the
colleges, go punting on the river, and shop. But there is much more
to Cambridge than its university and Silicon Fen. Over the
centuries, town and gown together have transformed this city, which
was an inland port until the 17th century. Eccentricity is
something of a Cambridge tradition, and the town seems to delight
in taking its visitors by surprise, whether that's with a huge
metal time-eating grasshopper, May Balls held in June, sculptures
that dive into the ground feet first, or a museum that makes a
feature of broken pottery. You will find these and many more
curiosities in this book.
