About This Book
"In this haunting tale, Daphne du Maurier takes a fresh approach to time travel." "A secret experimental concoction, once imbibed, allows you to return to the fourteenth century. There is only one catch: if you happen to touch anyone while traveling in the past you will be thrust instantaneously to the present.".
