Description

Have you ever wondered how Victorians dreamed up all that fantastic futuristic fiction Did it ever occur to you that it might just have been based upon fact That THE WAR OF THE WORLDS was a true account of real events That Captain Nemo's Nautilus even now lies rusting at the bottom of the North Sea That there really was an invisible man

And what about the other stuff Did you know that Queen Victoria had a sexual relationship with Dr Watson Or that the elephant man was a product of an ET/human hybridisation programme Or that Jack the Ripper was a terminator robot sent from the future

Read on and learn how a cabal of Victorian Witches from the Chiswick Townswomen's Guild, working with advanced Babbage super-computers, rewrote 19th Century history and how a 23rd Century boy called Will Starling uncovered the truth about everything.
