Sun Slower, Sun Faster

This is an adventure story with a difference—it is soon after World War II, and Cecil (short for Cecilia) along with her cousin, Rickie, are thrown into a series of adventures that have little to do with the England that they know. Inexplicably, they and their eccentric tutor, Dominic, find themselves in another time. With every dip into time they experience another chapter of the Church’s history and teachings. At once fun and frightening, these escapades into the past take on deeper and deeper significance. Each of them are faced with things from their own pasts which touch deeply upon who they are in the present and who they will choose to be in the uncertain but tantalizing future. Illustrated by Edward Ardizzone.
