They may well like other Oxford writers, Lewis Caroll, Dorothy L Sayers, Pullman, CS Lewis, or have an interest in History. I have been privileged to travel a great deal and few places are as heartstoppingly lovely as Oxford.
My mom and I are big fans of the Chronicles of Narnia (C.S. Lewis) But there is still the problem of plane tickets. I should bug my parents... I was reading the info for Oxonmoot and it said that people under 15 (which I am, by one year) need to be watched by and adult, in other words I need a babysitter... If and when I go, I will make my mother dearest read the books.
