I think I shall look out for your book for this year's present to my bookworm great-nephew, though.. Thanks for this. I have always thought time travel through the medium of a book the best way to do it, though, less likely to be bitten by fleas, for one thing, not to mention the other hazards you've mentioned.Leslie Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15105465949970430998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5502671101756463249.post-26144423499715895942013-02-03T11:28:42.688+00:002013-02-03T11:28:42.688+00:00What a brilliant premise for a story - I am so jea...What a brilliant premise for a story - I am so jealous that I didn't think of it first! Will be looking out for this as soon as it's published.

Actually, even if he could speak our language, there would be a lot of underlying assumptions in his age as there are in ours. Sounds like you're going to be busy! ;-)<br /><br />My own favourite( children's )time travel novel - though I loved all the ones you mention - is Susan Cooper's King Of Sadws, in which a modern boy actor Indus himself in Shakespeare's England, as an apprentice in Shakespeare's company. This is so that the boy he's replacing can be treated in a modern hospital for reasons I won't mention in case you haven't read it and want to. In some ways it IS a changeling story.Sue Bursztynskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09362273418897882971noreply@blogger.com
