This is the final book in the best-selling Flambards series. The First World War is over and Christina marries Dick, who was once the groom at Flambards. The local gentry refuse to accept the couple socially and, with Mark Russell due home from the war, Christina is forced to face the consequences of her decision. And in the end it is Christina who is as much divided as Flambards, in her feelings for two very different men. This title was reissued in the Oxford Children's Modern Classics series earlier this year, and is now being issued in a mass-market paperback format.

1956 Freddy and Polly are used to helping their father with his experiments. So they don't mind being put into cryonic suspension — having their hearts frozen until their father wakes them up again. They know it will only be for an hour or two, so there's nothing to worry about... Present Day Ben and Rachel have resigned themselves to a long, boring summer. Then they find a hidden underground vault in the garden containing two frozen figures, a boy and a girl. And when Rachel accidentally presses a button, something unbelievable happens... Can Polly and Freddy adapt to the twenty-first century? Will their bodies survive having been in suspension for so long? And most important of all, what happened to their father — and why did he leave them frozen in time?

The last of the Roman army have set sail and left Britain for ever, abandoning it to civil war and the threat of a Saxon invasion.
