About this product

Product Information

In her first full-length novel since her critically acclaimedDoomsday BookConnie Willis, winner of multiple Hugo and Nebula Awards, once again visits the unpredictable world of time travel. But this time the result is a joyous journey into a past and future of comic mishaps and historical cross-purposes, in which the power of human love can still make all the difference. On the surface, England in the summer of 1888 is possibly the most restful time in history--lazy afternoons boating on the Thames, tea parties, croquet on the lawn--and time traveler Ned Henry is badly in need of a rest. He's been shuttling back and forth between the 21st century and the 1940s looking for a Victorian atrocity called the bishop's birdstump. It's only the latest in a long string of assignments from Lady Schrapnell, the rich dowager who has invaded Oxford University. She's promised to endow the university's time-travel research project in return for their help in rebuilding the famed Coventry Cathedral, destroyed in a Nazi air raid over a hundred years before. But the bargain has turned into a nightmare. Lady Schrapnell's motto is "God is in the details," and as the l25th anniversary of the cathedral's destruction--and the deadline for its proposed completion--approaches, time-travel research has fallen by the wayside. Now Ned and his colleagues are frantically engaged in installing organ pipes, researching misericords, and generally risking life and limb. So when Ned gets the chance to escape to the Victorian era, he jumps at it. Unfortunately, he isn't really being sent there to recover from his time-lag symptoms, but to correct an incongruity a fellow historian, Verity Kindle, has inadvertently created by bringing something forward from the past. In theory, such an act is impossible. But now it has happened, and it's up to Ned and Verity to correct the incongruity before it alters history or, worse, destroys the space-time continuum. And they have to do it while coping with eccentric Oxford dons, table-rapping spiritualists, a very spoiled young lady, and an even more spoiled cat. As Ned and Verity try frantically to hold things together and find out why the incongruity happened, the breach widens, time travel goes amok, and everything starts to fall apart--until the fate of the entire space-time continuum hangs on a sUance, a butler, a bulldog, the battle of Waterloo, and, above all, on the bishop's birdstump. At once a mystery novel, a time-travel adventure, and a Shakespearean comedy,To Say Nothing of the Dogis a witty and imaginative tale of misconceptions, misunderstandings, and a chaotic world in which the shortest distance between two points is never a straight line, and the secret to the universe truly lies "in the details."

Price and delivery was totally fine. Also the book book was wrapped in bubblefoil. Very good. Contact to the seller as well. The items description was missing so i concentrated on the pictures. They looked good. No issues to be seen. But when i got the book today, the slipcase was damaged at the top. I hope i can glue it, but this immense damage was not seen on the picture. It was fotographed and framed that you couldnt see it. The top cardboard was torn apart half way through

    An entertaining read.

    With lots of references to some of the great classics it was fun reading a little sci-fi for a change. I’m not sure I’ll read her other works but this one was good. Along with a lot of literary references her historical references were well done as well. If you haven’t read “Three men in a Boat” by Jerome K. Jerome do so first. It’s a great read and this book references it a lot.

    Annoying Writing

    Thought I would enjoy this. It got good reviews but the story was lame. The author has an irritating writing style. Skipped some of the beginning and seemed like it was going to get good. That lasted only a short while. Finally couldn’t take it any more. Will donate to the library.

    Time Travel and the Bishop's Bird Stmp -- To Say Nothing of the Dog

    Humor is difficult to write effectively, but Connie Willis skillfully blends time travel, mystery, and romance -- to say nothing of major doses of humor -- in a story that ranges from the late 21st century, World War II, and the Victorian Era. And it all involves the secret of the missing bishop's bird stump. What in the world is a bird stump? Good question: you'll just need to read the novel to find out -- plus how a time-lagged time traveler falls in love with a female colleague as beautiful as a Waterhouse nymph. As a writer, myself, I am in awe of Ms. Willis's brilliance.
