Summary

"An Adventure" by C. A. E. Moberly and Eleanor F. Jourdain is a memoir describing the unnerving experiences of two women, Elizabeth Morison and Frances Lamont, during their 1901 trip to the Petit Trianon at Versailles; initially unenthusiastic about the location, the women's stroll through the area quickly shifts into a bewildering encounter with strange figures dressed in antiquated clothing, accompanied by an inexplicable sense of dread, leading them to believe they witnessed ghostly echoes of Marie Antoinette's era, which opens up questions about memory, history, and supernatural events.

About the Author

Charlotte Anne Elizabeth Moberly (1846–1937) was an English academic, and first Principal of St Hugh's College, Oxford. Her claimed time-travel book An Adventure, written in 1911 with fellow academic Eleanor Jourdain, became a bestseller.
