Jodi Taylor?s best-selling series The Chronicles of St Mary is back with a bang?
St Mary?s has been rebuilt and it?s business as usual for the History department.
But first, there?s the little matter of a seventeenth-century ghost that only Mr Markham can see.
Not to mention the minor inconvenience of being trapped in the Great Fire of London?and an unfortunately-timed comfort break at Thermopylae leaving the fate of the western world hanging in the balance.
Re-join Max?s madcap journey through time in Jodi Taylor?s fifth inter-dimensional instalment No Time Like the Past.
It always seemed strange to me that a building as old as St Maryâ âs should have no ghost.
No Headless Monk.
No Grey Lady.
No sinister shade haunting the corridors, uttering blood-curdling warnings of vengeance and retribution â apart from Dr Bairstow distributing his â âDeductions from Wages to Pay for Damagesâ â forms, of course â so when Markham claimed to have seen a ghost, no one believed him and the reason we didnâ ât believe him was because he was the only person ever to see it.
Then it happened again.
And then again.
And still no one ever saw anything. No one except for Markham, bolting into my office, as agitated as Iâ âd ever seen him, and gabbling about something that no one else could see.
We didnâ ât realise that the reason he was the only person ever to see the ghost, was because he was the ghost.
