  • A Traveller in Time

    Alison Uttley, Phyllis Bray

    Paperback (NYRB Kids, Feb. 11, 2020)
    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.

  • TIME TRAVELER

    World Codex Staff

    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
