About this ebook

Get immersed in the action of history’s most pivotal and dramatic episodes with this “witty, irreverent, and brilliantly researched” guide (Giles Milton).

Not many of us can claim to have thrown chests of tea into the Boston Harbor or to have watched Vesuvius erupt, but that’s about to change thanks to The Time Traveler’s Handbook. This book offers eighteen exceptional trips to the past, transporting you back to the greatest spectacles in history.

You have the chance to join Henry VIII at the Field of the Cloth of Gold and to march on Versailles with the revolutionary women of Paris. You can sail with Captain Cook to Tahiti and Australia, and spend time at Xanadu with Marco Polo and Kublai Khan. Or, closer to the present, you might accompany Charlie Parker at the birth of bebop or the Beatles in Hamburg, or take part in the VE Day celebrations in London or the Fall of the Berlin Wall.

The notable authors and time travel agents Wyllie, Acton, and Goldblatt are your guides to these and other unmissable events, charting the action as it unfolds, while advising on local customs and what to wear, eat, and drink for the most authentic of experiences.
