A classic work of travel literature

The Silent Traveler In Oxford is a classic work of travel literature. Written by Chiang Yee, a Chinese writer who took refuge in Oxford from the London Blitz in the year 1940, The Silent Traveler In Oxford brings a unique perspective that explores Oxford's scenery, traditions, pubs and restaurants, daily life, and so much more -- all with a keen eye for idiosyncracy. Highly enjoyable reading as a uniquely written travelogue, The Silent Traveler In Oxford is especially recommended for Anglophiles and others with an interest in Oxford during those yesteryears of World War II.
