Educating And Entertaining

Evie’s Ghost by Helen Peters is a charming time-slip novel for ages ten and above. I am considerably older and I loved it.

The action is present day and in 1814 as an old house unites the characters.

The reader is educated in the customs of the day. Children’s and women’s rights did not exist. The poor knew their place in society as mixing between the classes was actively discouraged. Life was hard and children were literally worked to death. 1814 saw society dominated by rich males.
