".there were no green things growing in the garden at the back of the house where Dickie lived with his aunt. With no bantering siblings to lighten things up, and real poverty, as opposed to the struggling intelligentsia found in many of her books, Nesbit has set her sights on a more serious book than her others. Harding's Luck is a rather unusual Nesbit, in that it tells of an only child-Dickie Harding, living on sufferance with an uncaring woman who injured him so badly as a child that he needs a crutch to walk. Nesbit (1909) a companion/sequel to The House of Arden. My own Timeslip Tuesday book for today is Harding's Luck, by E. Coincidentally, I do have another time travel post to link to today-over at The Spectacle there's an interesting post about time travel from a sci fi perspective. If anyone else would like to join me, I would love the company and will add links. On Tuesdays, I try to write about timeslip stories.
