Minty Cane believes she is a witch - not that you would notice to look at her - it's just that she is quite used to seeing phantoms floating about the place, and thinks it is perfectly normal. She's a pretty determined sort of person as well, which is just as well because when she goes to stay with her aunt in the village of Belton she soon senses that she has a task to do.

She finds herself drawn by some deep and secret force to the sundial in the grounds of old Belton House which she immediately knows, by instinct, is also a moondial. Now, really, there is no such thing as a moondial for telling the time with because the moon, unlike the sun, does not always follow the same path through the skies. But a sundial cannot work during dark moonlight hours, so the ordinary rules of time don't apply when the sundial is working as a moondial. That's how this time travel story works.

As she approaches the moondial, the effect is dramatic. With a whistling of the winds of time she is transported back a hundred years to meet Tom, a mistreated kitchen boy who dreams of growing up to be a footman. At first, they each believe the other to be a ghost but they have to conclude that they are travellers in time - for Tom is equally capable of using the moondial to pass into the twentieth century to find Minty.
