A Traveller in Time

Penelope is a sickly child and she goes to stay with her country relatives in Derbyshire. While she is there, she finds herself in another time, part of a fascinating family in the distant past who are working to free Mary, Queen of Scots, from confinement by Queen Elizabeth.

The way Penelope moves back and forth in time is oddly realistic. The speech, the setting, the characters—all of these elements of the past also feel oddly real.

Quite an adventure.
