Like so many of my childhood favourites it was a library book (we had very few books of our own) and I could never remember the name or author as an adult to track it down. But now, thanks to Charlotte's library I have! A used copy is hopefully winging its way to my right now...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1265120169320473011.post-31065939666907997622009-10-29T00:40:00.085-05:002009-10-29T00:40:00.085-05:00The L'Engle book Emile mentioned that included...The L'Engle book Emile mentioned that included Time Travel was the third of the Murry books, A Swiftly Tilting Planet. Charles Wallace psychically connects with 4 different people in 4 different time periods to see if he can influence the "might-have-beens" in order to stop a present dictator from destroying the present world. So a time-slip, sort-of. I liked it. The first of the series(and most well known) is A Wrinkle in Time.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15652166517238665866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1265120169320473011.post-17814300645271107362009-09-22T16:20:31.938-05:002009-09-22T16:20:31.938-05:00Jane Louise Curry did write pre-European time slip...Jane Louise Curry did write pre-European time slip books back to Indian times before Columbus. I loved them as a child. She wrote a lot of fun books.<br /><br />William Mayne did some very interesting timeslips. I liked Earthfasts. None are prehistoric though.<br /><br />There were some juvenile science fiction time slips into prehistoric times. I remember Tunnel through Time, and Danny Dunn and the Time Machine. I never read Stig of the Dump but that might qualify. If I remember others I'll let you know.Jenny Schwartzberghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06346217514073560797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1265120169320473011.post-31380395963205874242009-04-03T06:33:00.000-05:002009-04-03T06:33:00.000-05:00I dunno about Jane Louise Curry--I'll look her up!...I dunno about Jane Louise Curry--I'll look her up!

I've been building a big list of time slip books for some study I want to do - at some 200 plus books, I don't think I'll ever get through them all.

Like the front gates.<BR/><BR/>We're moving next month, and I can soon better give you a heads up on the time-travel and other books here after that point. I live across the street from a huge and glorious library with a cafe... which is mostly a <I>research</I> library, sadly. The children's room is teensy, and the teen/MG area is... a shelf. We'll be closer to a smaller branch with more of a young reader population, and I'll hopefully get a better view of what's here.<BR/><BR/>This is a very industrial city, and though that does not <I>at all</I> necessarily mean there are fewer readers, in this case, it does mean that the city does loads of reading initiatives and spends loads of money trying to lure people into the library. Sometimes it works, but I think sometimes people feel a little hounded to come in. Anyway, I can't wait to see what a more normal library looks like (minus the terrible hush, marble flooring, swooping pillars and gigantic café).tanita✿davishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01671822274852087499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1265120169320473011.post-15877249140822528842009-03-10T17:47:00.000-05:002009-03-10T17:47:00.000-05:00> but I cannot think of a single story in which...> but I cannot think of a single story in which a character goes back in time to a pre-European past<BR/><BR/>S M Stirling has a few (Conquistador, Island in the Sea of Time/Nantucket series)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1265120169320473011.post-55291855838511303762009-03-10T16:17:00.000-05:002009-03-10T16:17:00.000-05:00Which one of the later L'Engle books is it when so...Which one of the later L'Engle books is it when someone (not a native American) goes back to a pre-European American past? An Acceptable Time? Actually perhaps it wasn't quite pre-European, because I seem to remember there being something about a few of the native Americans having blue eyes.

Do see if your library has it, because it is really nice...You should also look for Antonia Barber's The Amazing Mr. Blundern, which a stupid title for a great book (pubished here as The Ghosts), which I reviewed a while ago.<BR/><BR/>Have you read any recently published time travel books over there that I should look for? So much of my own knowledge comes from what I read as a child in British schools, which was rather a long time ago now. <BR/><BR/>I dunno, though, about your Dr. Who theory. I think it's just easier to imagine time travelling when you have buildings, landscapes etc around that are thousands of years old...But then I consider that we have that ancientness here in America, too, although here in New England it is a more subtle physical presence, but I cannot think of a single story in which a character goes back in time to a pre-European past. Maybe because it is not the past of the more recent arrivals, who happen to be the ones who have written the most books.<BR/><BR/>And now I am wondering if there are any non-western children's time travel books, from Indian, or Japanese, or Chinese writers. Any time travel magna, for instance.Charlottehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15750715350958105088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1265120169320473011.post-84938016238201411322009-03-10T10:19:00.000-05:002009-03-10T10:19:00.000-05:00Ooh - a UK book!I do notice that there are a lot o...Ooh - a UK book!<BR/><BR/>I do notice that there are a lot of time-travel books here -- I wonder if people got into it more easily here because of Dr. Who...tanita✿davishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01671822274852087499noreply@blogger.com
