Welcome to Litsy!

On 10th August 1901, two English women walked into the past. This is a documented true story that was extensively researched by the women who experienced this timeslip.During a visit to the Palace of Versailles, on the anniversary of the French Revolution, two ordinary women saw the French Queen, Marie Antoinette, sitting in the gardens in front of them, along with nobles, gardeners, houses, bridges and stones that when they went back, were no longer there.Backed up by a decade of research, the two women decided to publish their extraordinary adventure in 1910. Their timeslip experience has become known as the Ghosts of the Petit Trianon.Did these two Edwardian women actually experience time travel, or did they see the ghosts of things that had been?Previously, out of print, this is a new edition, edited and translated for the modern age, with additional material that looks at subsequent timeslip type experiences at Versailles.
