Nigel Planer - Jeremiah Bourne in Time

This electrifying first installment of Nigel Planer’s Time Shard Chronicles trilogy takes a new and original look at the possibility of time travel as it catapults you into a thrilling journey across London and through time.

Nigel will be talking about Jeremiah Bourne in Time and his experiences with Henry Young, Hastings Librarian.

Jeremiah Bourne is in greater danger than he realises.

As Jeremiah is swept from his crumbling home in Blackfriars in 2019, to the same house but in 1910, he suddenly faces two questions: how did he get here, and how can he get back to his own time?

On his quest for answers, he encounters a cast of comic characters and situations: a coven of free thinking spiritualists, a futuristic residents’ association, warring street gangs, eugenic scientists, aggressive domestic servants and a nudist magistrate.

'Funny, perceptive and hugely readable. Nigel’s new novel is as good and as original as I expected it to be.’  Ben Elton

imaginative romp through time and memories via a biscuit tin, a nudist and a chatty parrot! Delightful time travel shenanigans! Get lost in time and find your new favourite temporal traveller.’ Rhianna Pratchett

This event will last approximately one hour, followed by a question and error session, and a book-signing.
