Edward Ormondroyd

Theodore the teddy bear gets lost in a pile of family laundry and has a remarkable adventure.

On a wretched, windy day when everything has gone wrong, Susan trudges home to her apartment building. She enters the elevator, pushes the button--and that's the last anyone sees of her.

Two novels by Edward Ormondroyd, Time at the Top and its sequel All in Good Time. "Wait a minute!" Mr. Shaw said. "You want to take me back to the nineteenth century, to marry somebody there?" His daughter Susan must be mad! Only a girl suffering from hallucinations would make a request like that, on top of a wild story about a good witch, an elevator that travels to 1881, a vanquished scoundrel, a dug-up treasure, and a distressed nineteenth-century...

A young girl is granted three rides in a magic elevator that transports her to the end of the nineteenth century.
