To Say Nothing Of The Dog
Author: Connie Willis
This is the first of Willisâ time traveling historians. Ned Henry is looking for something called the bishopâs bird stump in the 1940s, despite the fact that he lives in the 21st century. He needs it as part of a plan to restore a cathedral destroyed by Nazi bombing. The time travel devices are good for little else, as they have mechanisms built into them that deny travelers any possibility of changing the past or even visiting certain controversial events. That means that corporations have no use for the machines, leaving them in the hands of historians. Verity Kindle (no relation to the eReader) brings a domestic house cat back to their present (2057) from Victorian England and now Henry must replace it in its rightful place, before all of history is rewritten by the act. The book is written in a true Victorian style with asides to the reader and repeated references to mystery authors like Wilkie Collins and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Why It Made the List This book won the Hugo and the Locus awards and was nominated for a Nebula. Willis has won multiple Hugos for her work which are guaranteed to tickle the funny bone.
