Ned is suffering disorientation, maudlin sentimentality and a tendency to become distracted by irrelevancies: classic symptoms of excessive time travel. And no wonder. Oxford's history department has just pulled him out of World War II and Ned's barely had time to wash off the gunpowder when he has a straw boater shoved on his head, a carpetbag in his hand and is thrown straight into Victorian England. For a holiday. But an impossible accident makes it hard to relax. Ned's holiday becomes a mad struggle to put together a historical jigsaw puzzle involving a cat, a diary, young lovers and the mysterious bishop's bird stump. If he can't make all the pieces fit it could mean the end of history itself. To Say Nothing of the Dog is a delightful and intriguing mystery spanning almost two centuries.

Delightful Summer Reading
To Say Nothing of the Dog is a delightfully light hearted book, one that, even though there is conflict enough, will not get the reader down. The overall mood is that of a pleasant summer afternoon. The story is about time travel in futuristic England to the Victorian era and deals with assimilation to a long lost culture in a comic manner. For example, the time traveling scientists haven?t a clue as to what a pen wiper is, yet continue to buy them at jumbles in order to fit in. This novel stands in stark contrast to another one of Willis?s time travel novels, Doomsday Book, an exceedingly dark and grim venture.
