Day 4: The Trouble with Susan


Today was Narnia day. We discussed C.S. Lewis and how he gave the character Susan the shaft (IMOH). 

We then had a visit to Christ Church, I saw the great hall, the dining room in Harry Potter, and there is a beautiful stained glass window for Alice. 

Next we went to Christ Church Library, where yes, I set off the alarm while taking pictures, awesome. 

And then I gate-crashed the group going to the Merton library, as my seminar group was not going, but I pushed in with another group. What a beautiful campus! I saw the deer park, and the table where Tolkien sat. 

Then at night we got to see a one man show of Jekyll and Hyde at the Blackwell book shop, amazing!

Alice display at Christ Church Library.  Yes, I set off the alarms taking this, so worth it
