These are so great and compelling, they hardly need a preamble from me. Their most fascinating hook is that sometimes they seem within the range of possibility. I've even heard a few anecdotes when friends of friends sincerely believed they crossed time barriers for just a few seconds. (An elderly gardener who glimpsed an Edwardian tea party at a deserted manor house, and a teenage boy who chanced upon a Victorian croquet game.) These novels feed my imagination and yearning, so I thought it would be nice to include them all on one page.
Just imagine if it could happen! Here is my ever growing list.
A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens
Charlotte Sometimes by Penelope Farmer
Harry Potter & the Cursed Child by JK Rowling, John Tiffany, and Jack Thorne
The House on the Strand by Daphne du Maurier
Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children by Ransom Riggs
The Time Traveler's Wife by Audrey Nifenegger
To Say Nothing of the Dog By Connie Willis
Tom's Midnight Garden by Philippa Pearce
Coming Soon:
Time and Again by Jack Finney
Playing Beatie Bow by Ruth Park
For All Time by Meredith Resce (Meredith is a good friend of mine and I endorsed this book inside its cover but never wrote a review long enough to link to this page.)
