    This Auction is for Two Vintage Hardcover Books for Children
    Charlotte Sometimes by Penelope Farmer
    1969
    First Edition, First Printing
    A time-travel story that is both a poignant exploration of human identity and an absorbing tale of suspense.
    It's natural to feel a little out of place when you're the new girl, but when Charlotte Makepeace wakes up after her first night at boarding school, she's baffled: everyone thinks she's a girl called Clare Mobley, and even more shockingly, it seems she has traveled forty years back in time to 1918. In the months to follow, Charlotte wakes alternately in her own time and in Clare's. And instead of having only one new set of rules to learn, she also has to contend with the unprecedented strangeness of being an entirely new person in an era she knows nothing about. Her teachers think she's slow, the other girls find her odd, and, as she spends more and more time in 1918, Charlotte starts to wonder if she remembers how to be Charlotte at all. If she doesn't figure out some way to get back to the world she knows before the end of the term, she might never have another chance.
    The Little Lame Prince and His Traveling Cloak by Miss Mulock
    1964
    First Edition, First Printing
    Miss Mulock (pseudonym of Dinah Maria Mulock Craik) tells the children's story about a healthy baby prince who is dropped by a careless nurse enroute to his christening; when both his parents die, he is at the mercy of his ambitious uncle who has him secreted away to a lonely tower on a barren plain. The young crippled prince must then reclaim his kingdom from his evil uncle, with the help of a magic cape from his godmother.
