Chronicles Of St Mary

Aside from the wry remarks from Dr. Bairstow and the belated realization that women in history *do* matter, this short, short time-travel SF featuring our favorite, Max, discovers, with the rest of the crew, that they're a bunch of softies.

Oh, yeah, and history *might* need a bit of a personification after this. What the heck? Well, alls well that ends well. ( )

This is a gorgeous Christmas story about the amazing coincidences of history, and their astonishing importance. The team from St Mary’s is off to witness the coronation of William the 1st in 1066, and end up delivering a baby miles from Westminster Abby. And its significance is important to us all. ( )

When A Child Is Born takes place on Christmas (though it is not that child that is born). Max and her team end up being sidetracked while they are hiking towards William I's coronation. It's short and sweet and it fits perfectly in the holiday season.

While I enjoyed it thoroughly, all 20 or so pages of it, it did seem a bit incongruent with the previously established laws of the series. (This is something that slightly bothered me throughout the whole series, but here it is very clear). It seems to me there is a regular switch in exactly how much they can interfere with history.

Nevertheless, a sure recommendation to the fans of the series! ( )
