Bradt Eccentric Guide to Oxford
by Benedict le Vay

From the Bradt Eccentric Guides series.

William Morris called Oxford "a perfect jewel" of a city; Benedict le Vay goes in search of the quirkier gems among its medieval back alleys. Here roam batty dons, daft students, barmy aristocrats and political firebrands. Who does that gargoyle remind you of? Why is a shark plunging into that man's house? When do students jump naked into the River Cherwell as Latin hymns are sung? What powers the "Cosmic Triangle" of vibrant East Oxford? How do you control a punt without looking like a plonker?

Inside you will find:

• A calendar of eccentric events
• Where to find a wonderfully weird museum
• Where to eat a great fry-up in a unique setting
• The pubs where Inspector Morse and Bill Clinton enjoyed a pint
