Overworked time-traveling historian Ned Henry of Oxford university is sent to Victorian England for a quick easy assignmet and some much needed R&R. But a series of mishaps derails his plans, and he quickly finds himself hopelessly entangled - trying to put a thwarted romance back on track, solve a 500 year old mystery, and rescue a cat. To say nothing of the dog ......
We had a backyard meetup to exchange books. Needed a shade umbrella!
I actually listened to this through the library and found it very entertaining: time travel, worries about changing the future, mysteries to solve, love stories with a lot of humor to them and a dog. Lots to keep you entertained.
Had a lovely visit in rureading's yard to drop off books and pick up some new ones and bring some back. Lovely visit on a sunny but slightly cool day.
Enjoyed a patio get together with crossingguardma and sing-song. Exchanged a few books as well.
This story of time travel was interesting and sometimes hard to keep track of characters in which time period.
The book by Jerome K. Jerome "Three Men in a Boat" is referenced and I had not heard of it. Some searching on the net led me to a 1975 BBC film of Three Men in a Boat with Tim Curry, Michael Palin and Stephen Moore. It was very entertaining with a Pythonesque flavor to it.
