Books
An imaginative experience
An InterCity train brakes suddenly in the countryside, and a white-faced woman races to the aid of a sheep stranded on its back, unable to rise. Seeing the woman's face full of tragedy, a fellow passenger does not intrude, but the image lodges in his mind.
Not That Sort of Girl
When, on the night of their wedding, Ned asks his new wife Rose to promise that she will never leave him, Rose is quick to give her aristocratic husband her word: keeping it, however, proves harder. For even on the day when she has promised to forsake all others, Rose's heart is with the true love of her life, Mylo, the penniless but passionate Frenchman who, within five minutes of their meeting declared his love and asked her to marry him. Whilst Rose remains true to her promise never to leave Ned, not even the war, social conventions, nor the prying of her overly inquisitive and cheerfully immoral neighbors, can stop her and Mylo from meeting and loving one another.

Eleven-year-old Lisa and her family meet the future when they enter a time warp.
The sixth seal
