Stanley's Travels: Imagine yourself playing sport at the very highest level.

By Philip Putnam

Living the dream. Stanley Hatherley is a sports-mad, fourteen-year-old London schoolboy. One day, jolted awake by shouting, car horns and beating drums, he realises he is not in his bedroom, but an unfamiliar hotel room. Once again, without warning, he has travelled to a parallel, yet strangely different world of sixty years ago. Here, Stanley's several years older, playing for First Division East End United in their version of the Champion's League. Back home in his everyday world life is no less eventful. He must cope with a tragedy, and other challenges intrude. And he meets the lovely Caty, who bears a striking resemblance to someone he has met before. Where will Stanley travel next? To bat in an Embers Test Match, the other world's Ashes? To run against the World's best in their Olympiad. Then just as he thinks his adventures are over he's catapulted, once again, into his other world. And Stanley's Travels start all over again. Join Stanley for every breathless minute: every goal, run, stride, every drama in his two lives, as it happens.
