The Webs of Time

Time travelling is fraught with difficulties.Your time lines might cross, and you meet yourself or you may get caught in a temporal eddy from which there is no escape.Even worse, you could be transported to a distant past on Mars and asked to save it from destruction.However, when it gets too much you can always take a quiet holiday to escape.Short stories from the time travel diaries of James Urquhart, scientist, who lived in 2015 and Elizabeth Bicester whom he met at cricket match in 1873.They are narrated by Professor Rolleston who discovered the original diaries and who spent his life, when not hunting fairies, trying to understand their contents and the reasons for their existence.– –Three of the stories, Northern Nights, A Holiday in Cornwall and the Haunted Mill, previously appeared in Three Tales Out of Time.
