Book Reviews of The Common Stream: Two Thousand Years of the English Village

Book Review: A delightful companion for a visit to Cambridgeshire.
Summary: 5 Stars

And with this delightful book of Rowland Parker's in tow, Foxton itself can become a wonderful walk through time that's not found in the standard guidebooks.

If you have only three days to explore a bit of England at the end of a London business trip, as I did last week, I recommend you try this: (1) the guided walking tour of Samuel Pepys' London (starts outside the Tower tube station, takes two hours, and ends at St. Paul's Cathedral in time to hear Evensong sung); (2) a guidebook walking tour of Cambridge that includes "the Backs", the Mathematical Bridge, the Cavendish Laboratory on Free School Lane, and a sunset from atop the Castle Mound; and (3) a day of exploring Foxton with Rowland Parker's <<The Common Stream>> tucked under your arm. Ancient city, ancient university, and ancient village: what could possibly be better?
