The Surgeon of Crowthorne by Simon Winchester
This is the story of two remarkable Victorian men. It is also about the creation of the greatest dictionary of the English language : the OED. If that sounds heavily academic, it is also about murder, war, madness and sex ; all ingredients of a good thriller. And it is.
(James Baker - bwl 3 May 2000 )
