This is a fascinating account of the escapades of Cambridge students during the early 1900s. These young men had the most unusual pastime of climbing the university buildings in the dead of night, with little, or even no, equipment. They then had the forethought to record their achievements by photographing them for all posterity. How glad I am that they did. This is an intriguing and highly entertaining book. When next in Cambridge at night I am going to be sure to find myself looking to the tops of the building to see if there's any climbing still going on.
