Overview
Discover the spellbinding time-slip fiction of Barbara Erskine in this six-book paperback collection. Spanning ancient Wales, Roman Britain, medieval Hay-on-Wye, and Victorian England, each standalone novel follows a present-day heroine drawn into echoes of the past. Erskine weaves history, romance, and the supernatural into atmospheric, page-turning stories where old secrets refuse to stay buried. From the bestselling author of Lady of Hay, this set is a rewarding introduction or a welcome addition for longtime fans of layered, character-driven historical fiction.

About the Books
This collection brings together six of Barbara Erskine's acclaimed time-slip novels, each a complete, standalone story united by her signature blend of history, romance, and the uncanny. Erskine, a historian by training, builds her plots on real landscapes and real pasts—Roman-occupied Wales, Anglo-Saxon border kingdoms, the Welsh hills around Hay-on-Wye, and the deep history of the Welsh Marches—then lets modern characters stumble into those buried stories through dreams, visions, and inherited secrets. The Story Spinner opens in 382 AD with a Welsh princess betrothed to a Roman general, her fate rippling forward into the present. The Dream Weavers pulls a contemporary historian and a gifted "ghost-whisperer" into the vengeful memories of an Anglo-Saxon princess. The Ghost Tree follows a family haunted by an unresolved history that reshapes present-day identities. Sleeper's Castle links a grieving modern woman with a fifteenth-century seer across six centuries of shared space. Lady of Hay, Erskine's era-defining debut, sends a skeptical journalist tumbling into the life of a medieval noblewoman through hypnotic regression. Time's Legacy continues her exploration of how personal and national history intertwine across time. Together, these novels showcase Erskine's talent for slow-building suspense, evocative settings, and heroines who must reconcile the past with the life they are living now. Readers who enjoy Kate Mosse, Diana Gabaldon, or Barbara Michaels will find a comparable atmosphere here, wrapped in Erskine's own distinctive, deeply British voice.
