CAMBRIDGE has never been a large city. Its breadth and scale reside in its history, its architecture, and its tradition of learning and creativity. This book captures the feel of Cambridge, visual and intellectual, classical and modern, serious and lighthearted. Douglas Ferguson's text weaves together an informed description of the buildings in Cambridge with a most readable outline of the intriguing - often eccentric - history of the place; and the whole is marvellously illustrated by Dona Haycraft's sensitive photographs.
