Books with title A Traveler in Time

When Penelope goes to stay with her aunt and uncle in an ancient Derbyshire farmhouse, she is immediately drawn to the wonderful atmosphere and longs to discover all its secrets. Soon she finds herself slipping back in time to the sixteenth century, where she is welcomed by the Babbington family, whose home it was then. As the lines between past and present blur, Penelope becomes caught up in the tragic events that befall her new friends as they make plans to rescue the doomed monarch, Mary, Queen of Scots.

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.

AN INTERACTIVE ​​​​AUDIO-VISUAL EXPERIENCE ★★★★★ "I hope the World Codex Staff is working on more historical surprises such as this. I, for one, am eagerly waiting its publication." ~ Lex Allen for Readers' Favorite It’s midnight, and you’re disturbed by a commotion just on the other side of your cabin door. When you fully come to your senses, you’re overwhelmed by the terrifying thought, could it be happening, could this unsinkable ship be actually sinking? Panic engulfs your every thought, as your serenity is replaced by terror. What do you do now? Travel back in time to that night, become the TIME TRAVELER. Experience that harsh reality through the eyes and ears of some of those who were there. Feel the lighthearted and thought-provoking dreams turn into a nightmare. Tantibus is precisely that, Latin for nightmare, and is included in this captivating literary collection. It is the first-person account of one man’s incredible struggle for survival aboard Titanic, and the heroic gesture that has made this fascinating book possible! ★★★★★ "As soon as I finished reading this, I must admit I felt a little bit like Indiana Jones discovering some wonderful priceless gem. There was adrenaline rushing through my body, and also moments while reading that chilled me to my bones. ... If you love poetry, history, and feeling like Indiana Jones, read this book now." ~ Erin Nicole Cochran for Readers' Favorite ★★★★★ "It was well put together and does seem to lend itself credibly as it is presented. Just understand that it is not a story, but rather a collection of different writings from the time. The question is, are the works authentic or not? And that may well be up to the reader to decide after careful consideration, which may take a bit of time of further digging into the facts espoused by the writings. For those who enjoy unraveling mysteries and discovering new claims, Codex: Special Edition (Codex SE) [Time Traveler], by World Codex Staff, will entertain and inform. Highly recommended." ~ Bruce Arrington for Readers' Favorite ★★★★★ "The unpublished poem allegedly written by Albert Einstein, If Eyes Could See, brilliantly surpasses any other poem in this collection. It’s a glowing and transcendent commentary on time and space, which uses careful repetition to build up tension and dynamism. This poem is dreamy and eloquent, and it stirs up the imagination. I also loved the short story, Tantibus, which chronicles the last moments of Herman Holmes, who received the poetry from the doomed Wolcott, aboard the Titanic as he puts together a life raft that will give him a fighting chance at survival. Codex: Special Edition: Codex SE [Time Traveler] brings the tragedy of the Titanic to life by sharing those poems and experiences in a poignant and moving way. It’s highly recommended." ~ Jack Magnus for Readers' Favorite

A TRAVELLER IN TIME by Alison Uttley is a much-loved time-slip novel which vividly captures life at the time of Mary, Queen of Scots. Penelope lives in the 20th Century, and it is only when she visits Thackers, a remote, ancient farmhouse, that she finds herself travelling back in time to join the lives of the Babington family, and watching helplessly as tragic events bring danger to her friends and the downfall of their heroine Mary, Queen of Scots, whom they are seeking to rescue.

This unusual novel is set in rural Derbyshire in the old manor house, Thackers, where the Babington family and their servant, Cicely Taberner, lived when Elizabeth I was Queen of England. The descendants of the Taberners have farmed the land through the centuries, and to the Taberners of the present day comes Penelope, their great-niece, a sensitive, imaginative girl, who is aware of other layers of time. With her awakened vision she sees people of the past move in their daily tasks among those of the present, and behind the contented life of the household of Cicely and Barnabas Taberner she finds the old tragedy of Anthony Babington and his plot to save Mary, Queen of Scots, being re-enacted. The farm kitchen where Penelope sits with her great-aunt and great-uncle is the home of those others who once lived there. Their desires and fears, their courage and strength enter the girl's mind; their voices float up from the garden and she is caught up into their life. Time is annihilated, and she lives in the closing years of the sixteenth century remembering little of her modern life, until she returns from her traveling in time bearing the anxieties and dreams of the other world. The life of two widely separated times in history - the Elizabethan and the present - goes on simultaneously, each invisible to the other. And only Penelope can pierce the veil, sharing the tumultuous experiences of the Babington family three hundred years ago.

This is the dramatic and inspirational first-person story of theoretical physicist Dr. Ronald Mallett, who recently discovered the basic equations for a working time machine that he believes can be used as a transport vehicle to the past. Combining elements of Rocket Boys and Elegant Universe, Time Traveler follows Mallett's discovery of Einstein's work on space-time, his study of Godel's work on a solution of Einstein's equation that might allow for time travel, and his own research in theoretical physics spanning 30 years that culminated in his recent discovery of the effects of circulating laser light and its application to time travel.The foundation for Mallett's historic time-travel work is Einstein's theory of general relativity, a sound platform for any physicist. Through his years of reading and studying Einstein, Mallett became a buff well before he had any notion of the importance of the grand old relativist's theories to his own career.One interesting subtext to the story is Mallett's identification with, and keen interest in, Einstein. Mallett provides easy-to-understand explanations of the famous physicist's seminal work.
