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. <p/>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.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>The most hilarious book of its kind since John Irving's <b>The Water-Method Man</b> and <b>A Confederacy of Dunces</b> by John Kennedy Toole.<br><b>--Des Moines Sunday Register</b> <p/>An utter delight. Ms. Willis's unique, engaging voice will carry you off to a place where chaos theory makes perfect sense, time travel is a REASONABLE mode of transport, and safeguarding the fate of humanity is a respectable day job.<br>--Amanda Quick <p/>Willis effortlessly juggles comedy of manners, chaos theory and a wide range of literary allusions [with a] near flawlessness of plot, character and prose.<br><b>--Publishers Weekly</b> (starred review) <p/>I have long thought that Jerome K. Jerome's <b>Three Men In A Boat</b> is one of the highest points of Inimitable British Humor. I chuckle; I gurgle; I know those three men--to say nothing of the dog. And now I am convinced there was a woman concealed in that boat, too: Connie Willis.<br>--Laurie R.
