Picked up at a thrift store. I've liked Willis's other books so hopefully I'll like this one too. Registered in Centreville, Virginia, USA.
Ned Henry is hopping back and forth through time in search of the Bishop's Bird Stump of Coventry Church, finally landing an extended stay in the Victorian Era, where he and fellow historian (time traveler) Verity attempt to ensure a spoiled brat meets and marries her mysterious Mr. C. As with all of Willis's time travel novels, I enjoyed this one greatly. The characters are fun and likeable (Princess Arjumand was my favorite), the history is fascinating, and the science fiction is nifty, if not always particularly believable. It's one of those books that I wanted to finish but didn't want to end, if that makes any sense. I had to see how it turned out, but the journey to that conclusion was a blast. Sure, it's a little silly in parts and the romance angle was a touch forced, but that didn't diminish my enjoyment of it all.
