The Cambridge University Library’s Tower is an Aladdin’s cave for book lovers and historians alike.
First editions of books such as The Hobbit,Casino Royale and The Famous Five series jostle for shelf space alongside myriad toys, board games, Valentine’s cards, pop-up books and Mr Men cartoons, which have all found their way into the Tower since its completion in 1934.
The treasures of Cambridge University Library’s fabled 17-storey Tower Collection (chosen from more than a million volumes) will go on public display together for the first time in a free exhibition, Tall Tales, which will run until Oct 28, 2018.
