"... Redfern focuses on the fascinating but largely anecdotal evidence for anomalistic time travel in human history ... his book is essentially about ordinary people having extraordinary experiences. He covers a wide range ... from precognitive dreams to timeslips like the famous Moberly- Jourdain incident at Versailles ... not pushing any particular theory but just presenting the data and leaving readers to make up their own minds." - Fortean Times
