- When did Jean Cocteau see a fellow of Somerville in a kimono? How did a mummy mask find its way to the library? What?s the connection between The Oxford Book of English Verse and a prison camp? And how did a devilish cat become immortalised in fiction?002019 marks 140 years since Somerville opened its doors.
