To Say Nothing of the Dog

A HUGO AWARD-winning time travel novel from the SFWA grandmaster.

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Ned Henry is a time-travelling historian who specialises in the mid-20th century, currently engaged in researching the bombed-out Coventry Cathedral. He's also made so many drops into the past that he's suffering from a dangerously advanced case of 'time-lag'.

Unfortunately for Ned, an emergency dash to Victorian England is required and he's the only available historian. But Ned's time-lag is so bad that he's not sure what the errand is β€” which is bad news since, if he fails, history could unravel around him...

To Say Nothing of the Dog is a delightful blend of historical research, humour, and peril that will enthral readers with its clever concept and engaging storytelling.
