About this listen
One wardrobe. Two children. Three dangerously experimental crinolines.
And absolutely no idea how to get back to Tuesday.
When Lottie Birch, assistant curator at the Museum of Mildly Interesting Objects, is accidentally hurled into Victorian London during an exhibit setup, she finds herself once again mistaken for a governess. Or possibly a biscuit thief. It’s hard to tell.
Tasked with wrangling two precocious children, evading a sentient automaton, and surviving an unsanctioned bake-off, Lottie must solve the mystery of the time portal before the next royal scone duel breaks out. Or worse—before she starts enjoying herself.
Armed only with a half-glowing sand-dial, a suspiciously smug inventor, and her own slightly singed common sense, Lottie uncovers secret societies, magical machines, and a rogue runcible spoon with unresolved feelings.
Can she crack the code, win the pastry war, and escape the parasol riot of 1853 with her dignity intact? And will she ever find a proper cup of tea again?
Perfect for fans of romantic comedies, time-travel mischief, and clean historical humour with a twist, Pinafores & Portals is a laugh-out-loud novella that proves you don’t need steam to have sparks.
