Harding's Luck

Harding's Luck is sequel to E. Nesbit's The House of Arden. It tells the story of Dickie Harding a disabled boy who one day accidentally discovers an old magic that allows him to travel into his own past. There he meets Elfrida and Edred Arden (as told in The House of Arden) and together they seek for a long lost treasure. With the assistance of the magical Mouldiwarp they travel back in time to earlier periods of English history searching for clues. A great favorite of Nesbit fans; it's a story of injustice poverty deformity magic romance suspense sacrifice and triumph over adversity that comes to its point with a fateful twist.
