About this listen
The time-travel series that everyone's talking about.... Jodi Taylor's The Chronicles of St. Mary's is back with a short story.
It's Christmas Day 1066, and a team from St Mary's is going to witness the coronation of William the Conqueror. Or so they think.... However, history seems to have different plans for them, and when Max finds herself delivering a child in a peasant's hut, she can't help wondering what history is up to.
Jodi Taylor is and always has been a history nut. Her disinclination to get out of bed for anything after 1485 can only be overcome by massive amounts of chocolate and sometimes, if it's raining, not even then.She wanted to write a book about time travel that was a little different and, not having a clue how difficult this would make her book to classify, went ahead and slung in elements of history, adventure, comedy, romance, tragedy, and anything else she could think of. Her advice to booksellers is to buy huge numbers of her books and just put one on every shelf.

A wonderful seasonal story...with a good ending.
Lovely little Christmas story, just right for this time of year. The usual humorous touches and a little bit of English history (to follow up in your own time!) at the end.

Interesting Short Story
This is the second book by this author that I have tried to listen to and the first I have finished. It’s an enjoyable short tale. I won’t say it’s the best story in the world or amazing writing, but it is enjoyable.

Love this series!!
These Chronicles of St Mary's series are fantastic, very well narrated by Zoe Ramm.. If they ever made a film of these, then she is Max!
This is a fascinating story with a great twist!
