"The Adventures of Mr. Verdant Green" by Cuthbert Bede is a humorous novel written during the mid-19th century. It recounts the story of a young and naive protagonist, Mr. Verdant Green, as he embarks on his adventure of life as a freshman at Oxford University. The book humorously explores various experiences and escapades that befall Verdant, including initiation rituals, cultural contrasts between town and gown life, and the escapades of a university student. The opening of the novel introduces the clever backstory of Mr. Verdant Green's family lineage, framing him as a somewhat oblivious youth cherished by his overprotective mother. His education has been heavily influenced by this sheltered upbringing, leading to his anticipation and anxiety about attending Oxford. As he prepares to leave the comforts of his home, interactions with family members and the preparations made signal to readers the comedic challenges he is likely to encounter as he navigates university life and social dynamics. This blend of humor and the exploration of academic life sets up an engaging narrative that invites readers to follow Verdant's growth and misadventures. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
Reading ease score: 66.9 (8th & 9th grade). Neither easy nor difficult to read.
