Sobre este artículo
JONES, Diana Wynne. A Tale of Time City. [London]: Methuen [1987].8vo, 285pp. Light gray cloth with spine stamped in red. Pages aged, as always (due to the high acid content of the paper used), else a fine copy in original color pictorial dust jacket. Signed by the author, Diana Wynne Jones.
First UK edition. It is September 1939, the start of World War Two, and Vivian Smith is being evacuated. On arriving at the station, she is kidnapped by two boys, Jonathan and Sam, and taken to Time City, which exists outside of what we know as History. There the three encounter powerful forces and must work together to preserve history as we know it. A wonderful, time-travel fantasy by one of the masters of modern children's fantasy.
Sinopsis
A Tale of Time City was first published in 1987 by British author Diana Wynne Jones. It tells the story of a girl, Vivian Smith, who is kidnapped while being evacuated from London during World War II and caught up in a struggle to preserve history. In this novel, Jones explains time travel with more reference to our current understanding of science than she does in many of her other works.
