The Other Elizabeth

It happened one hundred years ago…it happened today…

It was a lovely day in June and Elizabeth was enjoying, with her Grade Seven class, a visit to Upper Canada Village. She insisted on seeing Cook’s Tavern, although she couldn’t explain this strange compulsion. As Elizabeth walked into Cook’s Tavern, she stepped into the past!

A fire burns in the fireplace...men in buckskins sit around the tables...she is wearing a long dress of grey homespun...

“Why, it’s young Elizabeth Frobisher,” said one of the men.

“But I’m not,” Elizabeth wanted to say, “I’m not Elizabeth Frobisher! I’m Elizabeth Duncan!”

A story to fascinate readers of all ages — rich in historical detail — but above all, a good adventure tale, beautifully told.

“...[A] time-shift story in which...the transition is handled with remarkable skill...” —Globe & Mail
