'Jesse Marley calls herself a realist; she’s all about the here and now. But in the month before Prince Charles and Lady Diana’s wedding in 1981, all her certainties are blown aside by events she cannot control. First she finds out she’s adopted. Then she’s run down by a motorbike.

'In a London hospital, temporarily unable to speak, she uses her left hand to write. But Jesse’s right-handed. And as if her fingers have a will of their own, she begins to draw places she’s never seen, people from another time—a castle, a man in medieval armour. And a woman’s face.

'Rory Brandon, Jesse’s neurologist, is intrigued. Maybe his patient’s head trauma has brought out latent abilities. But wait. He knows the castle. He’s been there.

'So begins an extraordinary journey across borders and beyond time, one that takes Jesse to Hundredfield, a stronghold built a thousand years ago by a brutal Norman warlord and passed down to the noble Dieudonné family, a clan honored and burdened with the task of protecting England’s dangerous northern border in the fourteenth century. Jesse holds the key to the castle’s many secrets and its connection to the mystical legend of the Lady of the Forest.

'Somehow Hundredfield, with its history of darkness and light, of bloody battles won and lost, will help Jesse find her true lineage. In a world where the tales of old are just a heartbeat away, there are no accidents. There is only fate.'

1 4 y separately published work icon The Island House Posie Graeme-Evans , London : Simon and Schuster , 2012 Z1902677 2012 single work novel historical fiction 'In 2011 Freya Dane, a Ph.D. candidate in archaeology, arrives on the ancient Scottish island of Findnar. After years of estrangement from her father, himself an archaeologist who recently died, Freya has come to find out what she can about his work. As she reads through his research notes, she sees he learned a great deal about the Viking and Christian history of the island. But what he found only scratches the surface of the discoveries Freya is about to make. In 800 A.D. a Pictish girl named Signy loses her entire family during a Viking raid. She is taken in by the surviving members of the Christian community on Findnar, but when she falls deeply in love with a Viking boy, she is cast out. She eventually becomes a nun and finds herself at the center of the clash between the island's three religious cultures. The tragedy of her story is that, in the end, she must choose among her adopted faith, her native religion, and the man she loves.' (Publisher's blurb)

'Big girls in 19th-century England don't cry in Graeme-Evans's light tale about a plucky heroine who endures a series of harsh trials on her way to becoming London's leading dressmaker.

'Things start to go south for curate's daughter Ellen Gowan on her 13th birthday, when the dress Connie, her mother, makes her, entices one of her father's students to steal a kiss. Scandal and ruination seem imminent when her father dies, forcing mother and daughter to seek refuge with Connie's sister, who lives in terror of her baronet husband. There, Ellen's friendship with her cousin, Oriana, blossoms, until once again a young man stirs trouble, and Connie and Ellen land in London, where Connie succumbs to illness and Ellen marries a cad who leaves her pregnant and alone.

'But with a little help from friends, family, and unlikely sources, Ellen becomes the go-to creator of "all manner of finery" for England's most prominent families.' (Trove)

Mirror, Mirror II was a sequel to Mirror, Mirror, but only in so far as both programs involved travel between two time periods through the agency of a magic mirror, allowing people who live in the same house at different times to interact with one another. The two programs were closely linked aesthetically, including identical title sequences. However, the programs had very little overlap in script-writers.

In this series, Daniel and Fergus McFarlane (from the late 1990s) and Constance de Lutrelle (fom the 1860s) travel between each others' time periods, experiencing culture shock from such events as sealing (in the 1860s) and school discos (in the 1990s). As with the original series, there is also a significant object over which the protagonists struggle: in this case, a mysterious crown.

Sophia Turkiewicz et. al. )agent Rosewood New Zealand : Millennium Pictures Gibson Group , 1995 Z1844241 1995 series - publisher film/TV fantasy young adult

When fourteen-year-old Jo Tiegan is given an antique mirror by a mysterious antique-shop owner in 1995, she finds she can travel through the mirror's surface into her bedroom as it was in 1919. She and the house's previous occupant, Louise Iredale, become firm friends, but find themselves caught up in two interlocking mysteries: the presence of a container of toxic chemicals in Louise's neighbour's well (which seriously injures two of Jo's classmates during an archaeological excavation in 1995) and the entrapment of Nicholas Romanov (the Tsesarevich Alexei Nikolaevich) by Louise's neighbour, who has smuggled him out of Russia in the hopes of selling him to the highest bidder.

Mirror, Mirror was a co-production between Australian-based Millennium Pictures (founded five years earlier by show creator Posie- Graeme-Evans) and New Zealand-based Gibson Group.

The program was successful and highly awarded, and was followed two years later by a loose sequel, which shares nothing with the original series but the basic premise of time travel through a mirror.

Karl Zwicky ) Sydney : Channel 10 Millennium Pictures Film Australia , 1991-1992 Z1856152 1991-1992 series - publisher film/TV children's science fiction

The Miraculous Mellops centred on the curious adventures of the Mellop children who, after the death of their mother, live at the Lazy Daisy Nursery with their father and aunt, but manage to get caught up in events of intergalactic significance. Series one centred on the search for the new Grand Baby, leader of the Moon, after the former Grand Baby's powers were accidentally fractured into ordinary objects in the Mellops' home. Series two concerned the intergalactic threat offered by the Grubs, who turn anything into their path into toffee before devouring it.

When Jools Trevaller's parents announce that the city is becoming too dangerous and that they're moving to a rundown former staging inn in the small town of Waterloo Creek, Jools is furious. But the house is already occupied by the ghost of a girl called Elly Lockett, who died mysteriously in the nineteenth century. Only Jools can see Elly, and they form a strong friendship as they seek to understand exactly how and why Elly died and where her body lies. Neither realises that once the mystery is solved, they'll be parted forever.
