The Other Elizabeth

It happened one hundred years ago it happened today It was a lovely day in June. Elizabeth was enjoying a visit to Upper CanadaVillage with her Grade Seven class when a strange compulsion urged her toward Cook s Tavern. Curious, she walked into the old building, and 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..."
