We discover how Cambridge University began, the origin of the expression 'Hobson's Choice', a woman who survived nine days rapped in a snow cave, the floating church of the Fens, the Whittlesey Straw Bear Festival, and many more tales on universitty life, local characters, historic buildings, sporting contests and strange customs and traditions.
