The City of Dreaming Spires - The City of Bleeding Fires,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Oxford (Horrible Histories Gruesome Gd) (Paperback)
Terry Deary has done it again. Another great guide to plan a gruesome vacation to Oxford, nicknamed "the City of Dreaming Spires."While it may seem like a beautiful, antique city inhabited by educated teachers, brilliant scholars, and gorgeous architecture, Oxford's violent history has more than it's fair share of blood. You'll gfind out all about Oxford's numerous wars among it's people. Saxons vs. Vikings, Medieval Citizen vs. Medieval Citizen, Tudor Catholics vs. Tudor Protestants, Students vs. Teachers, Students vs. Citizens, Students vs. Students, it's all here! This book will teach kids about the bloodier parts of teis Englis college-city's history while keeping it funn and entertaining. They'll even go over gruesome tudor bear baitings, and the burning of Protestants. As Deary himself says, "The City of Dreaming Spires? More like the City of Bleeding Fires." |
