The Sandal by Tony Bradman
Past, present and future are linked in this simple story of a lost sandal. A child visiting a museum notices the similarity between her own sandal and a Roman sandal she notices in a case. Later she loses one of her sandals in the river and it floats away - to be found hundreds of years hence. Tony Bradman has written over 25 books including Dear Daddy, Jack at Sea, Our House on the Hill and A Country Far Away.
