Oxford Cleric

media type="custom" key="3629817"

Hello I am a professor in Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales I was the Oxford Cleric. I have been a professor for 10 years and I love to buy new books. I am going on this trip to go and find new books and I was having trouble finding work so now I teach and would gladly learn. I have always been right to the point when I teach and I say what needs to be said. This trip will hopefully let me learn more about different books.
