An Illustrated Guide to the World of Oxford's Famous Detective.
Inspector Morse's name is inextricably linked with Oxford. The pubs, churches, university colleges, stately homes, hotels and countryside in and around the city are as much an essential part of Morse's life as the ever-faithful Sergeant Lewis who accompanies him on his investigations.
In this fascinating guide to the real-life locations featured in Colin Dexter's thirteen Morse novels and the thirty-three television episodes, Cliff Goodwin takes us into the heart of the irascible detective's world.
From the student digs where he met his first love to the lonely bachelor flat in which he spent his final years, from the pubs in which he drank his beloved real ale to the grand old university buildings which formed a backdrop to some of his greatest mysteries, this lavishly illustrated book guides you round Morse's favourite haunts and provides a rare insight into the character's life.
Featuring comprehensive visitor information for those planning to visit Oxford, this is an essential guide for all Morse addicts, whether you're an armchair fan or one of the many thousands of people who travel to the city each year to walk the same ancient streets, enter the same college portals, drink in the same pubs, or wander along the same riverside paths as the detective.
Packed full of fascinating history and intriguing detail, 'Inspector Morse Country' is a tribute to the popularity of one of Britain's best-loved fictional characters and the beautiful city he made his own.
