The Time Drum Summary
| Whilst on vacation in his family's home country of Scotland, Kevin strays into a mysterious room at the back of a dusty antique shop where he discovers an ancient hand drum dating back to the days of William Wallace. When he beats the battered old instrument, the teenager is magically transported back in time, where he finds himself marooned in an era of inhuman cruelty his school history books had never come near to describing. With only his drum and a donkey for company, he sets out to dodge death and torture until he is made the slave of an arrogant and wicked young aristocrat - but he finds a boy he must save from murder at the hands of hired cut-throats. In another of his thrilling Time Shift series of adventures for young adults, Hugh McCracken convincingly re-creates the brutal days when a nobleman's word was law and human life hung by a thread . to be cut on a whim. Once again, McCracken's attention to historical detail brings to life a stirring adventure, this time excitingly illustrated by French artist, Angela Boni. |
