A spellbinding journey through time and cultures...
Annie Thornton, an English midwife and hereditary witch, married to Adam, owner of a 500-year-old inn, has a problem. Her husband suggests she invite her Aunt Meg for Christmas, not knowing Meg lives in the 15th century.
When Annie shares that she has travelled through time, Adam laughs. To prove that she has visited different eras, Annie invites her friends from former times for Christmas in 21st-century Yorkshire.
She looks forward to a Christmas filled with love and joy; instead, her life descends into intrigue, deceit and a Christmas Day spiralling into chaos. Someone is scheming to thwart her carefully laid plans.
Who is the plotter and why are other guests at the inn involved? Can her Aunt Meg use her witchy magic to unravel the web of lies? If not, Annie’s marriage may be in jeopardy.

Maureen Thorpe is a gifted writer. She can spin a tale that keeps you spellbound (no pun intended.). It has been my pleasure to meet Ms. Thorpe when she was just starting her “Annie and Aunt Meg’s” tales. They just keep getting better. Not an easy task. It has been my pleasure to read “Tangle of Time”, “Sailing to Byzantium”, “Coventina’s Well”, and “All the World’s a Stage” at least 3 times. If you like a good tale with a touch of magic, look no further.

A wonderful, action-packed time-traveling adventure!
When two time-traveling witches – one from present day, one from the Middle Ages – take some friends to Shakespearean London, they find a world rich with texture and life, and get themselves into a heap of trouble. But nothing their skill set can’t handle.
I felt like I was right along for the ride! Maureen Thorpe is a dab hand at bringing history to vibrant life, and this is her best yet. The sounds, smells, locations and culture of early London were all there, larger than life.
The story is typically fast and fun, with engaging characters and plenty of twisty action. It kept me engaged to the very end. Along the way, they manage to amaze – and possibly influence – Will Shakespeare himself.
An all-round fun romp through time. Pick this one up.
