Description
A Traveller in Time by Alison Uttley is an enchanting and eerie novel that explores the complexities of time travel. When Penelope visits an ancient farmhouse, she finds herself transported back in time to witness pivotal events, including the tragic fate of Mary, Queen of Scots. Trapped between past and present, Penelope grapples with questions of freedom and fate. As she navigates her new surroundings, she discovers that time travel is a solitary experience, yet the natural world around her speaks of an ongoing life that transcends the passage of years. Beautifully illustrated by John Broadley, this novel weaves together themes of hopelessness and resilience, set against the backdrop of historical events.
