Book Description
Excerpt from Mr. Verdant Green In tracing the records of the family, we do not find that any of its members attained to great eminence in the state, either in the counsels of the senate or the active services Of the field; or that they amassed any unusual amount Of wealth or landed property. But we may perhaps ascribe these Circumstances to the fact Of finding the Greens, generation after generation, made the dupes of more astute minds, and when the hour of danger came, left to manage their own afi'airs in the best way they could, a way that commonly ended in their mismanagement and total confusion. Indeed, the idiosyncrasy of the family appears to have been so well known, that we continually meet with them performing the Character of catspaw to some monkey who had seen and understood much more of the world than they had; - putting their hands to the fire, and only finding out their mistake when they had burned their fingers.

Excerpt from The Adventures of Mr. Verdant Green, an Oxford Freshman All these articles were presented to Mr. Verdant Green with many speeches and great ceremony; while Mr. Green stood by, and smiled benignantly upon the scene, and his son beamed through his glasses (which his defective sight obliged him constantly to wear) with the most serene aspect.

Book Description
The adventures of Mr Verdant Green, an Oxford freshman, is a wonderfully amusing and engaging account of a naïve university student, thrown into life amongst the hallowed halls of this famous institution. Upon the publication of its first part in 1853, this work quickly became something of a cult novel, and the second and third parts quickly followed. All three parts are published together in this volume. Widely regarded as a classic of its age, it evokes a sense of the work of Jerome K Jerome, or the kind of scenarios of which P G Wodehouse might have written, had the bent of Bertie Wooster been somewhat more academic. This work is also hugely complimented by the original illustrations of the author. A contemporary and friend of George Cruikshank and Leech, Bede's illustrations were widely regarded as being of the same calibre as both. From 1847 to 1855, his work was published in 'Punch Magazine', as well as 'The Month', and 'The Town and Country Miscellany'. John Betjeman paid tribute to Mr Verdant Green by using its illustrations ini 'An Old University Chest' (1938). Consistently the most popular of Cuthbert Bede's output, 'Mr Verdant Green' is a well-loved classic that is truly deserving of the name.
