A Traveller in Time is a 1939 children's time-slip novel by Alison Uttley. It is set in rural Derbyshire, in both the Edwardian (primary time) and Elizabethan (secondary time) eras. The main action takes place in the early 1580s, with the protagonist Penelope getting involved in a failed attempt to rescue Mary, Queen of Scots from her imprisonment, foreshadowing the Babington plot.
