Time Traps
A ‘gentle’, intricate and
compelling love story about a young man who lives in the world of today and whose
great love is trapped in another time but of whom his memory is fading fast.
Not a book for every young reader or indeed to read aloud to a large group but
for imaginative readers of all ages it will be an experience to remember.
Google the writer’s name
for other titles - all equally enchanting
and all just as perfectly crafted.
