Jerome's very funny 'Three Men and a Boat' is the Partial inspiration for this wonderful novel and one of the author's favorite books. In the style of a Victorian novel, this book is "a comedic romp through an unpredictable world of mystery, love, & time travel... Ned Henry is badly in need of a rest. He's been shuttling between the 21st century & the 1940s searching for a Victorian atrocity called the bishop's bird stump. It's part of a project to restore the famed Coventry Cathedral, destroyed in a Nazi air raid over a hundred years earlier. But then Verity Kindle, a fellow time traveler, inadvertently brings back something from the past. Now Ned must jump back to the Victorian era to help Verity put things right--not only to save the project but to prevent altering history itself. " Winner of the 1999 Hugo award for best Science Fiction novel of the year, but we feel it is more Anglophile fiction than science fiction. Highly recommended!</B>; Image is actual copy on offer. .
