(2) 4-6 Illustrated by Phyllis Bray. This book, first published in England in 1939, is beloved by connoisseurs of British children's fantasy. Penelope, a "fey" child, finds herself transported back to Elizabethan times and in the midst of a plot to rescue Mary Queen of Scots. The novel smoothed the way for such time-slip classics as The Children of Green Knowe and Tom's Midnight Garden.
Reviewer: Martha V. Parravano | Horn Book Magazine Issue: December, 1964
