The Xanadu Manuscript

Cambridge in June is full of visitors and you have to be quite extraordinary to attract attention; and yet John Dunham knew as soon as he set eyes on the strangers that there was something indefinably mysterious about them. There were three of them: a man, a woman and a girl, each unusually tall, unusually handsome, and carrying a suitcase. What was it that marked them out as being different from other tourists and that aroused in John not only curiosity but a faint unease and disquiet?

First published in 1977, The Xanadu Manuscript by Edgar Award-winning author John Rowe Townsend quickly became a favourite of Young Adult literature and, matching our perennial fascination with time travel itself, continues to remain relevant today.
