Tiny and faint blue smudge on textblock edge, spine tail slightly bumped. Unclipped dust wrapper in lovely condition. A very nice copy indeed. ; Jerome K. Jerome's very funny 'Three Men and a Boat' is the partial inspiration for this wonderful novel and one of the author's favorite books. In the style of a Victorian novel, this book is "a comedic romp through an unpredictable world of mystery, love, & time travel... Ned Henry is badly in need of a rest. He's been shuttling between the 21st century and the 1940s searching for a Victorian atrocity called the bishop's bird stump. It's part of a project to restore the famed Coventry Cathedral, destroyed in a Nazi air raid over a hundred years earlier. But then Verity Kindle, a fellow time traveler, inadvertently brings back something from the past. Now Ned must jump back to the Victorian era to help Verity put things right--not only to save the project but to prevent altering history itself." Winner of the 1999 Hugo award for best Science Fiction novel of the year, but we feel it is more Anglophile fiction than science fiction.
