A towpath walk in Oxford : the Canal and River… door Mark Davies

A fairly interesting little book of reminiscences, scraps of history and snapshots of life. I'm not as familiar as I might be with the locations, especially the canal, so some of it was lost on me. It's dense with names, places and events; unless you're familiar with Oxford's waterways and/or local history you'll struggle to dredge much out of this book. It will also likely be a lot more accessible to older people who may remember or recognise some of the now-vanished places and past events that are described.… (meer)

Alice in waterland door Mark J. Davies

An interwoven account of Lewis Carroll, the Thames and Alice in Wonderland. There's some interesting bits of information in there, and it clears up a few things about Carroll and the story, as well as giving me a bit more idea about life at the time. As I live near the river I found it quite interesting for that too. It'd probably be more rewarding if I had a big interest in the whole Alice thing, which I don't really, but never mind. Decent.
