Time out of Time
In book two of the Time out of Time series, the excitement and mystery continue as Timothy; his sister, Sarah; and their friend, Jessica, journey to Edinburgh, Scotland, where they seek the Four Treasures, especially the Telling Stone. They must keep the treasures from falling into the hands of Balor, who will use them to deprive the world of good. The children pass through Time out of Time as they undertake their quest, encountering mythic and folkloric characters, including the Tuatha Dé Danann, Gwydon, and Cerridwyn. A code hidden in an ancient map is the key to finding the Telling Stone. The book includes a four-color map and concludes with a glossary of the many historical, literary, and folkloric references mentioned in both this and the first Time out of Time volume.柔牙(中)
四雷村不过是种植香料的御供豪农而已,为什么会用武官家的标志呢?虽然看不见,栉叶却能感觉出两位异国人的疑惑:“那是因为我们的先祖盘瓠是最骁勇的武士。”直到目前为止,栉叶讲述的都是人们耳熟能详的传说,甚至连兰波对此都有所听闻——据说中国西南地区的少数民族中就有不少奉犬神“龙期”“盘王”为祖先,并为自身是剿灭叛贼的勇猛神兽与坚守诺言的可敬公主的后人而骄傲。“如果你们是畲人或瑶民的一支,那就不必再费力讲述这么著名的图腾传说了。”所罗门凝视着栉叶家主低声说道,这一瞬间兰波不禁有些迷惑——这位除了美人和美食之外诸事不问的友人,是什么时候留心过神话传说的?自己对此好像完全没有印象啊。
