If you think that time
travel is something that only happens in comic books and movies, this
book will open a whole new world of excitement for you. You'll discover
how you can live the thrill of sailing an old pirate ship, or jump into
the future to visit outposts on other planets. This book will tell you
about real people who claim to have experienced time travel--and give
you some ideas on how you can make such a journey.
Originally published in
softcover by Avon Books for ages 8 and up, it was inspired by a
long-forgotten book that I uncovered one day in a used bookshop in
England: Practical Time Travel by
Colin Bennett was published in 1936. Readers then (and now) were
interested in the possibilities of time travel. Though How to Travel
Through Time is quite different than Mr. Bennett's book, I wish to
acknowledge the original inspiration.
