Cambridge Oddfellows and Funny Tales

Richard Breen, Holte

This book takes the reader through the eccentric developments of the world-famous Cambridge Colleges. Wonderfully illustrated throughout by newspaper cartoonist Holte; from Ferdinand Smythes, the glutton of Queens College, who once threatened to eat a child, to John Allcock, Bishop of Ely and founder of Jesus College, originally the impoverished Benedictine nunnery of Saint Radegund.
