There is nothing ‘little’ about the history of Oxfordshire – with its close links to royalty, government and academia, it has taken a front-seat on the rollercoaster of English history. However, this small volume condenses that fascinating, rich history into a highly readable form.Oxfordshire has produced some of the country’s leading artists, scientists and politicians, but it has also been a dangerous borderland between feuding Saxon and Viking kingdoms, and the arena of some of the most decisive battles in the English Civil War. These often strange-but-true anecdotes and characters relate the most interesting history from the county’s major towns, villages and dreaming spires.
