This is the story of a man who was wounded in Holland during the war and returned to consciousness to find that his right arm and leg were paralysed and that he was unable to speak. After a long struggle he not only won back most of his powers of moment and speech, but began to read for the bar. At the moment of triumph- just when he had passed the Final Examinations- he was diagnosed as suffering from tuberculosis. Long months of hospital and sanatorium life followed before he returned to the bar and set to work to refute the innumerable people who discouraged him. Then, finally, when he had succeeded into getting into Chambers, an attack of pleuritis carried him away for more treatment lasting over a year and cumulating in the removable of half a lung. Despite all this, he became a practicing barrister and ended as a judge. These bare facts show that here was a case of exceptionally bad luck colliding with an exceptionally courageous man, and this is the account of a fight fought without bitterness and with a great sense of humour. Easily, freshly and serenely told, though the story concerns pain and disappointment it is heartening, even exhilarating read.

The “superb” time travel adventure of one lonely young girl, a remarkable family, and an impossible task, set between modern and Elizabethan England (The Washington Post) "A beautiful book . . . a form of enchanting ghost story, with the ghosts drawn in with the grace of a painter on a fan." —The Observer Penelope Taberner Cameron is a solitary and a sickly child, a reader and a dreamer. Her mother, indeed, is of the opinion that the girl has grown all too attached to the products of her imagination and decides to send her away from London for a restorative dose of fresh country air. But staying at Thackers, in remote Derbyshire, Penelope is soon caught up in a new mystery, as she finds herself transported at unforeseeable intervals back and forth from modern to Elizabethan times. There she becomes part of a remarkable family that is, Penelope realizes, in terrible danger as they plot to free Mary, Queen of Scots, from the prison in which Queen Elizabeth has confined her. Penelope knows the tragic end that awaits the Scottish queen, but she can neither change the course of events nor persuade her new family of the hopelessness of their cause, which love, loyalty, and justice all compel them to embrace. Caught between present and past, Penelope is ever more torn by questions of freedom and fate. To travel in time, she discovers, is to be very much alone. And yet the slow recurrent rhythms of the natural world, beautifully captured by Alison Uttley, also speak of a greater ongoing life that transcends the passage of the years.
