This is quite a funny little book - on the whole very interesting, a quaint little story about a student and his dodo (yes, the bird) told by the student himself in his diary and notes - but the way it's executed is a bit tedious - the diary is printed on the book pages as a book, thus making it small, with foot and side notes by the publisher - all very nice, funny and clever, but I got a bit bored towards the end. näyttää 3/3 ei arvosteluja | lisää arvostelu
A 17th-century diary has been discovered in a second-hand bookshop in Oxford. It is the account of a student and his pet dodo. Doubts have been cast over the authenticity of the diary so the editors have produced this edition for the reader to decide for themselves. Kirjastojen kuvailuja ei löytynyt. |

The diary is presented here in facsimile, with many editorial annotations in the margins to explain various things going on in the diary, as well as people mentioned and the collection of random detritus found within the book (receipts, bookmarks, postcards, a spider, &c.). These marginal notes, along with several appendices at the end of the book, go into some depth about seventeenth-century book production generally and at Oxford in particular.
Our diarist doesn't just chronicle his dodo's doings, but also those of certain friends, including the ailing Mr Tompkyns and Mr Flay, whose oft-recounted dreams might seem vaguely familiar to modern readers, if their meaning is teased out a bit.
Full of wit, whimsy, and a fair helping of book history. Who could ask for more?
