Publisher's Synopsis
What would it really be like to travel back in time? This second collection of true stories offers a daily snapshot of life in Oxfordshire from medieval through to modern times. But in Volume 2 the dramas of ordinary people - and some extraordinary women - prevail almost entirely over the Great and the Good founding colleges and libraries. For those struggling against poverty, the temptation to fall into crime was ever-present. Parents who themselves needed help were berated by magistrates for the state of their children. Others did their best to alleviate life's challenges. Where would you have fitted in?
