Timeslip books

One of my favourites was written for children, it's The Children of Green Knowe.

You might enjoy A Traveller in Time by Alison Uttley (author of Little Grey Rabbit books) - a charming tale. It was a children’s TV series starring Sophie Thompson (sister of Emma).

Also A Knight in Shining Armour by Jude Deveraux, though that might be out of print now!

Oh I loved A Traveller In Time Dempie55 It was our first book to read in English literature at senior school…back in 1972🥲
I never knew it had been dramatised for TV though.

You can buy the DVD on Ebay if you still have a player!

I also love the timeslip stories. The House on the Strand was probably the first one I read. Ive also read some of Barbara Erskines. I look forward to reading some of the other suggestions. I didnt realise these type of stories were so popular, thought it was just me.

I’m reading Labyrinth by Kate Mosse. Very good read.

Thanks for the reminder. I’d forgotten that one. I have almost all JD’s books. Now I’ll have to go and read them again.

Just checked. It’s available on Kindle.

Thanks to all for the book recommendations, am putting a few of them on my wish list.😃

The House on the Strand is one of my all time favourite books.

How could I have forgotten Labrynth! Superb book

Horse by Geraldine Brookes pararrel stories so not sure if quite the same but brilliant story

I love Elly Griffiths books, not seen The Frozen People yet, or in the library either. Thanks Gillysugar

You will enjoy Miss Garnet's Angels; I loved it.

I have read most of M L Longworth's Provence detective stories and really enjoyed them. Thankfully the TV series hit the bin, totally the wrong people for the main characters, and just wrong all round really.

When Love Unlocks Time by Camilla Cornish is a Henry VIII time slip novel, I enjoyed it, I think that it’s kindle download only.

I think the best timeslip book I've ever read is by Jack Finney and it's called 'Time and Again'. It was written in the 70s and takes place both in that time and in New York in the 19th Century. The hero is a man fascinated by old photographs of the city, who via a scientific experiment, manages to slip back into Old New York.
The book is illustrated by old scenes of New York, so the reader has visual reference of where events in the book take place. Here's what Wikipedia have to say about it:

Also my post at 14.17 yesterday. The blurb tells how a young woman goes back in time. The story moves between present day and the past.

I enjoyed Labyrinth very much, Diana Gabaldon I read as Crosstitch before it became Outlander series. I will look up house on the strand.

The Second Sleep by Robert Harris

Many years ago I read Green Darkness by Anya Seaton and the memory of it has stayed with me through the decades.

AS is best known for her historical novels (the wonderful Katherine my favourite). Green Darkness is set in modern times but intertwines with events during the Tudor period, centered around Ightham Mote in Kent, which is now a National Trust property.

It's a fabulous novel.

Anya Seton

Has anyone here read Stephen Lawhead's 'The Endless Knot'? Not so much timeslip as someone moving into a parallel world. It's not terribly well-written but the story appeals to me. I've read it at least three times and each time I get to the end, I feel sure that the character would find a way to go back.

What’s a time slip novel please ? I used to read a lot of historical novels although I can’t read now I m always trying to
