About this product
The making of the “Oxford English Dictionary” was a monumental 50 year task requiring thousands of volunteers. One of the keenest volunteers was a W C Minor who astonished everyone by refusing to come to Oxford to receive his congratulations. In the end, James Murray, the “OED’s” editor, went to Crowthorne in Berkshire to meet him.
