Dexter, Colin. The Wench is Dead (London: St. Martin's, 1989) 200 p.

Christine Greenaway is a beautiful young blond reference librarian in the Bodleian Library's Lower Reading Room. "... her daily duties demanded assistance to both senior and junior members of the University: checking slips, identifying shelf-marks, suggesting reference-sections, making and taking phone calls (one, yesterday, from the University of Uppsala). And over these last years she had felt a sense of importance and enjoyment in her job - of functioning happily in the working of the University" (p. 64).
