Summary: "A Clerk of Oxford and His Adventures in the Barons' War" by E. Everett-Green is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The story chronicles the life of Leofric, a young clerk who embarks on a journey to Oxford after the death of his father, seeking a new beginning as a scholar amidst the backdrop of the turbulent Barons' War. With aspirations for education and a life away from the hardships of his past, Leofric's adventure unfolds in an era marked by social upheaval and conflict. The opening of the book introduces Leofric as he grapples with grief and the realities of his newfound independence.

As he prepares for his journey, he reflects on the knowledge and skills he has gained in the monastery, setting the stage for his upcoming adventures that promise not only academic challenges but also encounters with the chaotic world of clerical life in Oxford, where feuds and societal tensions are on the rise.
