Scandal in High Society Oxfordshire

Secret love affairs, murder, blackmail, poisoning and extortion: most of us enjoy a good scandal. And it’s even more fun when it involves our so-called ‘betters’. This book tells twenty stories of Oxfordshire toffs in trouble, from Tudor times up to the modern age. Few readers will fail to be impressed by the sheer variety of ways in which the upper classes of the county have contrived over the centuries to behave badly—and often to get away with it. Over 160 illustrations.
