Product Information
History is just one damned thing after another - Arnold Toynbee A madcap new slant on history that seems to be everyone's cup of tea...Behind the seemingly innocuous facade of St Mary's, a different kind of historical research is taking place. They don't do 'time-travel' - they 'investigate major historical events in contemporary time'. Maintaining the appearance of harmless eccentrics is not always within their power - especially given their propensity for causing loud explosions when things get too quiet. Meet the disaster-magnets of St Mary's Institute of Historical Research as they ricochet around History. Their aim is to observe and document - to try and find the answers to many of History's unanswered questions...and not to die in the process. But one wrong move and History will fight back - to the death. And, as they soon discover - it's not just History they're fighting. Follow the catastrophe curve from eleventh-century London to World War I, and from the Cretaceous Period to the destruction of the Great Library at Alexandria. For wherever Historians go, chaos is sure to follow in their wake ...Product Identifiers

Hysterically funny
Jodi Taylor has a dry observational wit that gives the Chronicles of St Mary's books a content that at times is hysterically funny - I have had lots of laugh out loud moments and moments where I have had tears pouring down my face. A great cast of characters and an unusual new take on time travel (sorry as fans will know it's "historical observations in contemporary time" - they're not allowed to call it time travel!). A must read book that will appeal to most peoples sense of humour - you'll want to go back for more.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Clever, Funny Romp
A must for fans of Pratchett, Fforde and Ben Aaronovitch. A funny, clever romp through time with a witty, charismatic heroine. After reading the first installment, you'll want to on many more adventures with St Mary's. Luckily, there another 11 books after this one !Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Not sold as seen
I specifically order this copy of the book as seen on the photos and it did not arrive, an old, battered cover of the same book turned up. I am very disappointed as I order this book to match my set and did not arrive as described.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Easy read
It won't win any prizes for literary style, but is an engaging piece of escapist reading which moves along at a good pace and has some interesting ideas.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
