Copernicus Droop unveils his marvelous machine, the Panchronicon, which can carry travelers back through time, and two New England spinsters set off to Elizabethan England, and Shakespeare's own age.

Harold Steele MacKaye's 1904 novel is a genial, inventive time-travel comedy. Charming, witty, of its era. Read it for a delightful early time-machine romp, where prim Yankee sisters tumble into the court of Queen Elizabeth, meet Bacon and Shakespeare, and tangle merrily with the paradoxes of the past.
