Have you ever wondered what it might be like to travel back in time?

Joe Hopkins isn't expecting to go anywhere in particular. But while he's visiting the ruins of a Roman palace, he suddenly slips through time and finds himself back in Roman Britain.

What starts out as an interesting afternoon becomes an adventure, and then a fascination. In the end, it will change his whole life.

"The Leopard in the Golden Cage" is the first of seven books for 8 to 12 year olds which will bring Joe face to face with Vikings, smugglers, and the bombers of the Second World War Blitz.
