"The Further Adventures of Mr. Verdant Green, an Oxford Under-Graduate" by Cuthbert Bede is a comedic novel written in the mid-19th century. This work follows the misadventures of the titular character, Mr. Verdant Green, as he continues his life as an undergraduate at Oxford University. The narrative captures his interactions and experiences within the university and his encounters with fellow students, highlighting themes of youthful innocence and the raucous environment of collegiate life. At the start of the story, Mr. Verdant Green is depicted as no longer a Freshman but still new to the Oxford experience, highlighting his simplicity and credulity despite having gained some experience over his first term. He engages in playful hoaxes on incoming Freshmen, suggesting a certain transformation in his confidence. The opening chapters introduce a variety of amusing characters and situations, including a comically misguided examination of a new student, Mr. James Pucker, whom Verdant and his friend Bouncer trick with absurd questions. This sets the tone for a lighthearted exploration of the university's social dynamics and the humorous trials of adolescence. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
Reading ease score: 68.5 (8th & 9th grade). Neither easy nor difficult to read.
