Adventures Through Time

By Jessie

There's so much to explore between the pages of a book. You can go off on adventures on other planets, down in the depths of the sea, visit whole other worlds, and even slip into another time.

The basis for so many wonderful gems in our collection of children's fiction lies in the question of what it would be like to travel back into the past. In these books, we also meet characters who encounter children from other times, as though they have stepped from one time into another: a time slip. Clocks striking 13, medieval mansions, magical statues in mysterious gardens, sleeping in a certain bed or dressing up in historical clothing - discover what trigger it might be that could open a window for you to explore another world!
