"OXFORD BLUE", a semi-autobiographical novel and memoir moves the reader along with an almost musical cadence through suspense and danger in an underworld of shady and unusual characters. Two street artists, a Scottish picture-painter of fairies, elves and angels and a visually challenged, British puppeteer live 'on the edge' providing shelter to 'down-and-outers' in nineteen seventies Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, (USA). The theme of the story, the anonymity of 'Oxford Blue' odds a delightful mysteriousness- keeping the Reader riveted to the book. This style is a cross-genre of Non-contemporary drama and Mystery and simultaneously both modest and risque. A 'different' type of narrative, "Oxford Blue" promises not a drop of boredom!
