THE LOST PRINCE

Thanks to a mysterious journal Eleanor Burden received in 1897 fin-de-siècle Vienna, she is able to predict and benefit from most of the major events of the early twentieth century. Angela Brazil’s lovely cultured voice brings credibility to Eleanor, and to Selden Edwards’s flawless diction and precise descriptions. In this sequel (or prequel) to THE LITTLE BOOK, Eleanor, now aware of her destiny, makes certain all the journal’s predicted events come about, including her marriage to Frank Burden and her friendships with Carl Jung, William James, Gustav Mahler, and other important figures of the day. Brazil avoids turning the now famous personalities into caricatures. Time travel, philosophy, and ethics (should Eleanor have warned passengers on the TITANIC?) make this a fascinating listen.
