Description: Oxford is many things. But it has a symbolic meaning well beyond its buildings, gardens, rituals and teaching. It stands for something deep in the Anglo-Saxon mind - excellence, a charmed life, a respect for tradition. Author Justin Cartwright re-explores his old university town - revealing new and beautiful insights to this historic city.
