Oxford still remains the most beautiful thing in England, and nowhere else are life and art so exquisitely blended, so perfectly made into one.” Oscar Wilde

Oxford has for centuries been inspired and delighted, and its beauty and antiquity have been celebrated by some of the most famous writers and artists in history. The unique characteristics of Oxford are captured in this stunning photographic collection – the famous colleges and grand buildings, the parks, the riverside walks and the wide streets. From Boars Hill to South Park, this beautiful book explores the familiar and the hidden Oxford.  Extracts of poetry and prose from famous writers such as Lewis Carroll, Evelyn Waugh, Samuel Pepys, Dorothy L. Sayers and Jan Morris complement the images perfectly, creating a memorable portrait of this much-loved city.

Reviews:

• I received this beautifully illustrated book today and I am delighted with it. Having been to Oxford a few years ago I just fell in love with the architecture. The buildings are beautiful as is this book . I highly recommend this seller as the book is just full of photos and the price is excellent for the amount of information . A book well worth buying and a beautiful gift for someone who has a love for history and beautiful architecture.

• A lovely book, even with no Morse!
